Rideau Lakes Councillor Dustin Bulloch voted against a motion calling on all pay and expenses from the mayor and councillors responsibilities at the county level to be included in their own annual report.
Councillor Jeff Banks put forth the motion and pointed out Rideau Lakes pays 22% of the overall budget of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, so it is taxpayer money being doled out.
He said this is a matter he’s argued in favour for since the beginning of his municipal career.
It was a clear cut case in the mind of Councillor Linda Carr.
The motion passed 4-3 with counciilors Bulloch, Marcia Maxwell, and Ron Pollard opposed.
Mayor Arie Hoogenboom was absent from the meeting, which was chaired by Deputy Mayor Sue Dunfield.
