Tennant and Arnold have been charged with one count each of offering a secret commission (pay- off), as has Pomeroy's wife, Pat Crimmins, who is Halton Region's deputy clerk. Pomeroy has been charged with two counts of accepting a secret commission and two of breach of trust Police in the anti-corruption task force say the charges relate to a Sarasota, Florida property as well as the land development scheme in Georgetown, although they have refused to be much more specific. Pomeroy and Tennant own con- dominiums in the same Sarasota complex. They have combined expenses and rental income from the two properties in a joint bank account overseen by Pomeroy. Arnold uses Pomeroy's condo, shares expenses, and has an option to buy it. tt Police charge that the three men were principals in a Georgetown development company. They refused to name it.

Asked if he felt vindicated, Graham replied that "it's kind of a hard question. I think I knew when I started out that if the police investigat- ed, they would uncover things."

Comparatively large jurisdictions like Mississauga and Edmonton have no more than a dozen city councillors each, he pointed out.
