A fundraiser has collected more than $1,400 for a Sackville town councillor.
“I don’t agree with the sanction,” said Wendy Alder, who launched the campaign.
“I don’t know the rules… But I know, for example, in the normal workplace, you couldn’t suspend somebody and then still expect them to work, which is what they’ve done.”
Alder launched the GoFundMe after town council voted to sanction Councillor Bruce Phinney earlier this month over code of conduct violations.
The reprimand includes a two-month suspension of Phinney’s salary.
Town council hasn’t disclosed the nature of the code of conduct violation, or the identity of the complainant, but CHMA has attempted to piece together the story in this report.
