“There’s got to be something more because this just seems disproportionate,” Clugston said of the move by councillors to strip Clark of her powers after finding she broke council’s code of conduct.
Clugston, who served a combined four terms on council, called Clark’s push for the city manager to abide by procedure “correct” but criticized the way she went about it.
