All I can say is thank you for the Auditor General. Without his investigation, there is no way we would have known that this situation has been building since 2004. I can see why Mr. Sauve has been doing his best to avoid responding to the audit report but it appears the collusion at Civic Square goes beyond Sudbury Transit. I would have liked to hear the management response to the findings but those have not been forthcoming, which has prompted special meetings of the audit committee.

What does it take for a member of the high paid City management team to be dismissed for not responsibly managing taxpayer dollars? As one of those taxpayers, this history is totally unacceptable and I will be watching to see how my Councillor and my Mayor deal with what can only be described as a scandal. Staff has been the tail wagging the dog for way too long.
