The Mayor of Prince Edward County is concerned about council’s criticism of the municipality’s Economic Development Officer.
Leo Finnegan held an impromptu meeting with the rest of council to discuss what happened at the March second budget meeting. He said some very good staff people have left Prince Edward over the last three or four years, and part of the reason was they had been attacked by councillors.
Some councillors questoned Dan Taylor’s request to increase the economic development department budget by 63-thousand dollars, and there were two unsuccessful recorded votes to reduce the budget by 250-thousand and 100-thousand dollars before the 63-thousand was added.
