Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti gets a court fine for breaking campaign-finance laws
—The fine levied on councillor Giorgio Mammoliti after he pleaded guilty, this morning, to four campaign-finance offences he committed during the 2010 election. This is considered light punishment (removal from office was a possible penalty), and it isn’t the first time Mammoliti’s behaviour has cost him money. In July, city council docked his pay for 90 days after he improperly accepted donations from lobbyists.
And why aren’t we asking for his resignation???? Or at the very least, hold a council vote to kick him out. How is this any different than senators that are found guilty of claiming expenses that are not allowed under the rules. There should be one rule for public servants at all levels: You are being paid by the public, follow the rules. If not, you get kicked out.
