Lisa Helps fails to recognize that legal counsel is to advise. Accountability for any decisions belongs to her as the cityB次元官网网址檚 top executive.

It is cowardly to hide behind lawyers for choosing not to pursue stricter disciplinary action against former police chief Frank Elsner. Her denial in 2015 about the initial investigation and her effusive proclamation that Elsner B次元官网网址渋s the best thing that happened to this town and Esquimalt in a long timeB次元官网网址� underscores the findings of her shortcomings in the commissionerB次元官网网址檚 report.

Lisa HelpsB次元官网网址� accusations of libel are nothing more than an attempt to deflect from her role in the mishandling of the situation and paint herself as the victim right before an election. Her response is shameful considering the protracted course of justice caused by her decision.
