They did not state whether they would-also support him financial- ly. “Peter is maintaining his inno- cence,” explained councillor Marilyn Serjeantson, “and it is up to him whether he will step down until this is settled. We will sup- port him nevertheless.” Asked if councillors agreed to pay Bill Robson Catholic board » By Oksana Buhel Halton Region will divvy-up $15 million this Wednesday with the cash to be spread among region needs, public and catholic school boards, the city of Burlington and the town of Milton. “We selected the $15 million fig- ure according to two criteria,” explained Joe Rinaldo, finance commissioner. and regional treasur- er. “The various groups applied for ebeneires some time ago, and we decide their need: requirements.” More than half of this money will go to the Halton Roman Catholic Board of Education - $7,720, “It’s a timing issue,” explained Rinaldo. “The Catholic board is in its stage of construction now, so obviously it needs’ more money.” The money will be used to cover the costs of the construction of St. Marguerite d’Youville, Our Lady of {Peace and St. Luke’s elementary schools in Oakville the addition and renovations to Assumption Secondary School in Burlington, and and equipment for the schools, The Halton Board of Education will be receiving $179,000, which will be used to purchase an elemen- tary school site in Oakville.

Following the meeting, Pomeroy announced to a group of reporters he would be paying his own legal bills, but did not deny he would ask for financial backing at a later date. Councillor Bill Robson stated that if the issue came up he would oppose it. “I don’t believe we have a mandate to spend taxpayers money in this area.” Robson added he has received many phone calls since Ray Twinney, the mayor of Newmarket, his. wife and son, were charged with similar crimes, and Newmarket municipal coun- cillors agreed to foot the legal bill. “Everyone who called me was opposed to us paying Pomeroy’s bill,” he said.
