I understand the saying B次元官网网址減olitics is a blood sport,B次元官网网址� but I think we should draw the line on comments which are disrespectful, slanderous and blatant lies. I speak in particular to pre-election comments I heard on CFAX by mayor-candidate Brian Tucknott on behalf of himself, and his slate of candidates: Teresa Harvey, Bill Wagner, Rick McKay and Ernie Robertson.

Tucknott claims the City of Colwood has had 3 years of B次元官网网址渇iscal mismanagement and incompetence.B次元官网网址�

I can honestly say the City of Colwood has built a young, intelligent and extremely competent finance department, and supplemented it with insight and training from one of the brightest minds in municipal finance. There is no financial mismanagement by them, and they should not be accused of such actions for someoneB次元官网网址檚 personal political ambitions.

TucknottB次元官网网址檚 allegations are a direct insult to their credibility and damaging to their reputation and careers. These comments should immediately be retracted and an apology issued. If the intent was to insult the past council, Tucknott missed, and instead insulted the hardworking staff. I find that unacceptable.
