where has the Mayor been for the last few weeks? why such a low profile? is she waiting to see what comes of the Degagne trial before she comes back into the public eye?

Thank you for your comment. Mayor Cook was absent from a Council in June due to a previous engagement. She was also absent from the July 8th Council meeting along with Councillors Zacharias/Hughes due to testify in the Don DeGagne civil trial in Vancouver

She was also absent from tonight's Committee of the Whole meeting as she was attending the 2013 Mining Sustainability Award presentation to Gibraltar Mines being held at Signal Point Gaming Centre along with CRD Directors and others in the community

As for the outcome of the DeGagne trial - she would no more than I about how the judge will rule. As I've said previously - I expect that ruling to come out in the next few weeks...
