2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, August 31,1994 Resident Challenges Fee For Municipal Information A Courticc resident and a municipal municipal election candidate for Ward One has taken exception to the Mu-, nicipality of Clarington's decision to charge him $500 for researching information on legal expenses associated associated with Mosport. In a letter dated, Aug. 25, 1994, the municipality said it has considered considered Gary Majesky's request for a listing of legal costs under the Municipal Municipal Freedom of Information Act. The municipality determined that 21 hours arc required to process his request request In a release to the media, Maje- sky says he takes issue with the decision decision of the municipality. He believes believes a substantial public interest is ;àt stake. Information related to legal costs are bona fide expenses which must be fully and openly disseminated disseminated to the public, he said. In response to Clarington's decision, decision, Majesky said the municipality is attempting to withhold certain financial financial information on the basis of Solicitor/Client privilege. In his original request, Gary Ma- jeski sought only financial costs associated associated with Mosport's legal fees, and Clarington's annual legal budget, budget, and did not specifically seek information information relating to advice or coun sel of the solicitor. Majesky has reviewed Clarington's Clarington's decision and filed an appeal with the Ontario Privacy Commissioner, Commissioner, Tom Wright, seeking an inquiry inquiry into the matter. As a declared candidate in the Nov. 14, 1994 municipal election, he is seeking access to legal costs to determine whether the costs associated associated with Mosport wrangling has been prejudicial to the taxpayers in Clarington. Majesky stated his immediate concern is for the youth, seniors, farmers, and families in Clarington, and believes that the money spent on legal fees could have been better used to provide much needed services services in Courtice. On the issue of disclosing public information regarding legal costs, Majesky will argue before the Privacy Privacy Commission Inquiry that municipal municipal institutions, by virtue of their public mandate, should and must be organized to provide elected officials officials with proper advice and information information to effectively represent the community interest Majesky stated that politicians and bureaucrats are accountable to the taxpayers. It's time this lesson was brought home, he said. On Sunday, September 4,1994, Art and Lillian Hooper will celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary.
