Port Colborne's mayor is disappointed, Regional councillor calls approach insulting
Disappointment from Port Colborne's mayor in how recent potential changes to Niagara governance has come about.
After Chair Bob Gale sent letters to the province and Niagara mayors about dissolving the region, Mayor Bill Steele says conversations of this magnitude need consultation with municipalities, residents and community partners.
He adds decisions reshaping how communities are governed need open dialogue with the established Niagara region council.
Meanwhile, Regional Councillor Haley Bateman is not impressed without asking the whole of council first.
She calls Bob Gale's approach insulting, causing stress to the region's corporation and staff.
