Thapar goes Wild!!

When you thought things couldn't get any worse for Quesnel City Council.... :(

I wonder how much longer this will go on before Thapar finds himself in a lawsuit situation....

Courtesy of the Rush/Wolf:

A QUESNEL CITY COUNCILLOR IS ACCUSING THE MAYOR OF QUESNEL OF MANIPULATING THE HIRING PROCESS AND OF ONCE AGAIN WASTING TAXPAYERS' MONEY.

SHUSHIL THAPAR SAYS HUMAN RESOURCES ADVISOR MERIEL WILD WAS WRONGFULLY DISMISSED.

HE FEELS SHE WAS FIRED BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T BE MANIPULATED BY POLITICIANS AND WOULD HIRE PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR RESUME.

THAPAR SAYS THERE IS NOTHING ON HER FILE AND SHE HAS DONE A GOOD JOB.

HE SAYS SHE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE FORMER CITY MANAGER AND FILED A COMPLAINT BUT HE SAYS SHE HAS THAT RIGHT.

THAPAR SAYS THE FIRING IT GOING TO END UP COSTING THE CITY 18 MONTHS PAY PLUS LEGAL FEES AND HE SAYS THERE COULD ALSO BE A HUMAN RIGHTS CASE.

HE SAYS HE IS REFUSING TO SIT IN IN-CAMERA MEETINGS.

THAPAR SAYS THAT WAY HE CAN'T BE ACCUSED OF LEAKING INFORMATION.

HE SAYS HIS FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST ON THIS CASE HAS BEEN DENIED.

Meanwhile, on behalf of Quesnel Mayor Mary Sjostrom who is in Japan on City of Quesnel business, Quesnel's Acting Mayor (Councillor)Ed Coleman responded with this:

MAYOR MARY SJOSTROM IS IN JAPAN ON A BUSINESS TRIP ON BEHALF OF THE CITY AND COULDN'T BE REACHED FOR COMMENT ON THE ACCUSATIONS MADE AGAINST HER.

CITY COUNCILLOR ED COLEMAN IS THE ACTING MAYOR AND RESPONDED TO THE ACCUSATION THAT WILD WAS WRONGFULLY DISMISSED.

COLEMAN SAYS HE CAN'T COMMENT ON HUMAN RESOURCE MATTERS BUT HE DOES SAY THAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS WORKING ON THIS FILE AND WE'RE DOING DUE DILLIGENCE AS WE WOULD BE DOING.

HE SAYS THEY CAN NEVER COMMENT ON A HUMAN RESOURCE MATTER THAT WE'RE WORKING ON WITH PEOPLE.

COLEMAN SAYS IF PEOPLE HAVE CONCERNS THEY SHOULD TALK DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE INVOLVED.

HE SAYS THAT'S THE WAY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.
