Medicine Hat city councillor apologizes for end-of-council remarks after backlash
A Medicine Hat city councillor on Tuesday apologized following backlash from a comment some considered insensitive that she made during Monday’s council meeting.
“I’m losing the will to live,” Coun. Shila Sharps said when explaining why she would not vote to extend the meeting past the mandated 11 p.m. stop time.
Mayor Linnsie Clark moved to extend the session to 11:15 p.m. so councillors could discuss her request for a detailed accounting of funds.
