Severance-A-Go-Go.....It's Time To Double Down!

ThereAin'tNoSpamOnUs

Writing on his and Michael Klassen's new Civic group blog-thingy, Smilin' Sammy's most excellent former Chief-of-Bowstaffs, Daniel Fontaine, thinks that the Visionistas are hiding something if they don't release the full details of former City Manager Judy Rogers' severance package, forthwith.

Which is all fine and good.

But Mr. Fontaine's outrage, fauxian or otherwise, pales in comparison to mine.

Why?

Because as a citizen of Vancouver I am really and truly outraged that the severance package of the City's former Chief Financial Officer, Estelle Lo, is tied to a gag order.

Not to mention the fact that Ms. Lo's very leaving/ouster, unlike Ms. Rogers', was kept secret - secret for weeks during the run-up to the civic election just passed.

Weeks that Smilin' Sammy's regime was still kinda/sorta in charge of the city previously known, at least by some (see: KidVancouver, Former), as 'Spamalot'.

****

So how about it Mr. Fontaine......are you ready to call for a full and open severance double-down?

With all the numbers face-up, on the table, and all the strings detached?

In other words:

Let's let Ms. Lo speak!


(and Ms. Rogers too if she so chooses, of course)

OK?
