Taxpayers should consider taking legal action

RE: ALL THE CHAIR’S MEN: NIAGARA REGION WON’T MAKE LEGAL CLAIM AGAINST CASLIN, APRIL 8

It is a shame the taxpayers of Niagara have had to put up with the nonsense of the past few years under the previous regional chairman’s so-called leadership.

Why do you need a fancy termination clause if, when hired, you intend to put your best effort forward? Or are there other reasons for such clauses, such as knowing you could not handle the position at hand?

As all these people seem to want to sue the taxpayer, via the Region, maybe it is time for the taxpayers to take back the stadium of play.

There are about 11 people that I can think of that should be included but as information keeps coming forward that may increase. Once the ombudsman’s report is released to the people it may be time for the people to take action.

Get taxpayers together and begin a class-action plan and lawsuit aimed in the direction of the aforementioned previous members of the regional council and staff.

As the Niagara area was the founding place of responsible Canadian government almost 200 years ago, how did the current situation happen? Trying to blame someone else for your actions or lack of action shows a very low moral standard in my book.

What happened to people being responsible totally for their actions? I guess the only way is to make them financially responsible as well as morally.
