Mayor supporter happily surprised by judge’s ruling, open to Medicine Hat city hall review
A Medicine Hat resident who regularly speaks out in support for Mayor Linnsie Clark says she was surprised but happy when a Calgary justice restored Clark’s powers and salary this week.
“I wasn’t surprised in that I thought the sanctions were ridiculous and that they should have should have been revoked, but I actually was somewhat surprised that that’s what happened,” Kym Porter told CHAT News on Friday.
“I really didn’t have a sense of which way it was going to go, although I had a sense which way it should go.”
Rosemary Nation, a justice of the Court of King’s Bench, decided to strike down four of the six sanctions imposed by council on Clark, calling them “disproportionate and unreasonable.”
