This councillor sought more transparency. His words were disrespectful, says integrity watchdog

In the spring, a Pembroke, Ont., city councillor "passionately" demanded more transparency in city procedures during a council meeting. In a report presented this week, the city's integrity commissioner says those comments were "disrespectful" to city staff and in his opinion, deserves a 15-day suspension of the councillor's pay.
