Dear Editor:
Re: West Van mayor investigated for workplace bullying
Dog bites man. Nothing to see here folks, move along.
Last October, Mark Sager and his running mates for District of West Vancouver council were given an overwhelming electoral mandate to bring about certain changes in how our district is governed. It appears that at least the top two district bureaucrats have been reluctant at best to embrace the new reality. So, bye. It’s life.
As for a suspiciously-timed complaint against our mayor from an unnamed member of district staff respecting unspecified allegations of bullying and harassment, this sort of "shoot from the shadows" attack is becoming tiresome. Next, our mayor will be accused of creating a "chilly work environment." Hard to do these days when it seems most everyone wants to continue working from home.
The important news here is the appointment of a highly qualified individual, someone with a long history of service to our community, to the district’s top administrative position. Very good to see Scott Findlay adopt the venerable and appropriate title "municipal manager." Clearly, this is a guy with his ego under control.
Congratulations to our mayor and council. You’re wasting no time in putting your stamp on our district’s government, as you were elected to do.
