Here we go again. Wasting tax payers dollars, or maybe not this time  ??

Ham filed against the City.

City ordered to pay cost to Ham for they Are bad faith actions.

Now City sued again And councillors too.

it look like they have insurance coverage from their Indemnificaion Bylaw (which re write in October 2021) when Ham sued first time.

The article suggests Warren still doesn't have the permits, 2 years later. Is there more to this, like has he not reapplied? You'd think those permits would have been rushed given the negative attention they brought the City.

Mayors getting sued etc definitely a thing in this immediate area. Well at least she wasn't bullying anyone? No unfortunately the Qnutters and anti inclusion types don't want any new business people here don't want any new unless that New people is also a Fear mongering anti inclusion types. Population of Rossland and Koots will double in next 10 years and half of current will be dying over that period. New attitudes and new visions are on the Horizon.The gaslighting tone will soon be a thing that's expired.
