Medicine Hat mayor launches legal action in effort to reverse council’s sanctions
Medicine Hat Mayor Linnsie Clark on Wednesday revealed she is using legal action to attempt reversing city council’s decision to take her powers away, saying she expects the case to reach court by summer.
“I do not agree with the decision of council and I am seeking judicial review,” Clark said as she addressed supporters and the media in front of city hall.
“That process will take several months and I will stand by that decision,” Clark continued, adding she hopes council will vote to its sanctions voluntarily before the city uses taxpayer money for legal fees.
