Ex-Medicine Hat mayor Ted Clugston says successor has been a poor collaborator
Former mayor Ted Clugston says his successor has done a poor job of being a collaborator as he reflected on a year of division at Medicine Hat’s city council.
“It’s not like party politics, where the premier or the prime minister can say, ‘we are going to do this’, and everybody has to get in line,” Clugston told CHAT News.
“In municipal politics, the mayor has to be the head coach,” he said.
Clugston said his approach as mayor would include meeting one-on-one with councillors in search of compromise.
