Mississauga mayor doesn’t retain emails or meeting records, inquiry told
The Toronto Star is reporting'William McDowell, lawyer for inquiry head Justice J. Douglas Cunningham, expressed concern at a hearing Thursday that documents expected from Mayor Hazel McCallion’s office weren’t forthcoming. It appears that McCallion, 88, who has said she’ll run again this year if her health permits, is not in the habit of retaining documents. The mayor’s office said that once emails are provided to the mayor for reading, they are deleted by her executive assistant, who “does not keep copies of any electronic emails.”'
The Toronto Star is reporting that "Peter McCallion's bid to get the city his mother leads to pay his legal expenses at a judicial inquiry will get a boost this week from a lawyer's letter suggesting how broke he really is."
TORONTO, Feb. 19, 2010 - At its February 19 meeting, the Metrolinx Board of Directors approved a fare increase and a more equal discount structure that will enable GO Transit to continue offering the best possible service and to meet the needs of its growing ridership.
The changes that will take effect on March 20 include two primary components:
a flat-rate increase of $0.25 that will apply to every adult single-ride ticket, regardless of trip origin and destination, and
a change to the discount structure for multiple ride tickets and passes so that these discounts will be equal across GO Transit fare zones. All 10-ride tickets offer a 7.5% discount over 10 single-ride tickets and monthly passes offer a 17.5% discount over 40 single-ride tickets.
"A fare increase this year will help to ensure that GO Transit can continue to offer high quality services to its riders in a fiscally responsible fashion," said Metrolinx Chairman Rob MacIsaac.
More information about current and new fares for specific trips and ticket types is available at gotransit.com.
This fare increase is in line with GO Transit fare increases from previous years, and with increases implemented by other transit systems.
The Mississauga News is reporting"City councillors who today (Feb. 10) at Council approved McCallion's request, to a maximum of $100,000, also agreed to cover her son's representation, up to $100,000, if Peter McCallion can prove he cannot afford a lawyer."
