Real Coles notes: Current Mayor elected Oct 2021 on campaign to clean up shady mess of multiple previous councils mainly regarding city owned utilities. Finds massive ineptitude & crooked deals & missing money stemming from CUI (utility corp). Mayor begins heavy-handed investigation into wrongdoings, finding even more shady work. Those implicated flee for their careers, some stay to obfuscate investigation, some complain to the higher gov't about the heavy-handed Mayor hurting their feelings. AB provincial gov't intervenes, imposes a babysitter on council affairs and conjures up BS report telling council to get along "or else". City sues Province to get evidence for their intervention actions, Court sides with city upsetting province and leading up to today's action threatening to dissolve council for defying their provincial hippie drum circle orders.
