Cover letter to Complaint filed against Councillor Joe Swan
We can get it for less Its too expensive Respect for the tax
payer are the comments Joe Swan, Stephen Orser , andsome members of
council strew like confetti in the wind. What happened to We can do
this You get what you payfor Respecting the professionals at city
hall, Fanshawe and the supporters of Fanshawe ? All of them are
taxpayers.
Joe Swan is runnin g for mayor. His utter disregard for due
process is disturbing on many levels. He didnt like ademocratic
decision made by a committee he sat on. In retaliation he decided
to take matters into his own hands and
call a press council where he said he was going to meet with
Peter Devlin to ask him to withdraw his request. He saidHe (Devlin)
must see that this causing a rift in our community It is Swan who
is causing a rift by disrespecting dueprocess.
The procedure that Fanshawe used to determine the suitability of
Kingmills was a lengthy and no doubt costly one.Twenty downtown
properties were investigated. Think of the cost you would incur
hiring a house inspector twentytimes. Fanshawe upon review decided,
through information provided by professionals, that Kingsmills was
perfect. JoeSwan has decided based upon some personal logic without
the professional knowledge to assess that everyone is wrongexcept
him.
Joe Swan has decided he is going to save us from ourselves. In
rea l estate there is a mantra Location, Location,Location. The
obvious choice using that is across the street from the recently
refurbished building housing Fanshawe.
Swan has on numerous occasions attempted to mislead the public
regarding the costs of the re- purposing of Kingsmilsciting
completed cost as construction cost. Respect for the taxpayer is
also remembering that all the professionalsinvolved in the process
of deciding upon Kingsmills as the perfect location are tax-payers,
many of them are Londoners.Joe Swan, along with Stephen Orser, has
not only shown disrespect for these individuals as taxpayers he has
impugnedtheir integrity as professionals. He does not have that
right.
London City Council has a code of conduct. Joe Swan s actions in
at tempting to exert influence on President Devlin towithdraw his
petition to council appear to run contrary to that conduct as
specified under the subsection pertaining toSpecific Conduct.
It is for this reason that I have filed a complaint against Joe
Swan with City Clerk Cathy Saunders.
Respectfully Yours.
