Call for Resignation and Termination Amidst Spending Scandal
A citizen's efforts to expose a spending scandal have led to a demand for the resignation of North Bay Mayor Peter Chirico and the termination of CAO John Severino.
Keven Ferris, who filed Freedom of Information requests along with Nicole Peltier, expressed disappointment but not surprise at the Integrity Commissioner's report. The report, authored by Guy Giorno, was seen as lenient towards the mayor.
Giorno gave the mayor the most generous interpretation of the code of conduct that he could have. It doesn't even admonish the mayor.
The backlash follows the release of the Integrity Commissioner's report, which many believe fails to hold Mayor Chirico accountable for questionable spending practices.
- Mayor Peter Chirico is under fire for his spending habits.
- CAO John Severino approved the expenses in question.
- Citizens are calling for Chirico's resignation and Severino's termination.
