'Unfortunately, it seems to come with the territory these days, but that doesn’t make it OK,' says Barrie mayor
BARRIE - Threats made to Barrie Mayor Jeff Lehman resulted in police protection during his time in office.
“Unfortunately, it seems to come with the territory these days, but that doesn’t make it OK,” the mayor added. “I think this stuff is part of the reason good people don't run for council.”It was during discussion of continued council support for the Stopping Harassment and Abuse by Local Leaders Act, a provincial bill that would create a process for municipal councils to remove their members who violate workplace violence and harassment policies.
Morales’s amendment asked the province to explore ways for municipalities to deal with members of the public who are vexatious harassers, ways that comply with the Municipal Act.
