“I believe that the mayor is acting like the Teflon Don,” said Brian Hatch, a lifelong Hamiltonian and former Stelco manager. “He seems to have the opinion that he can pretty much do what he wants and nothing will stick to him.”
“The mayor’s integrity is at question and should be at question,” he added.
“He needs a wake-up call.”
Hatch filed an affidavit for the integrity commissioner through the city clerk’s office Monday morning. He notified city councillors of his complaint in an email circulated later that day.
Hatch alleges Bratina contravened several parts of council’s code of conduct, including Section 13, which prohibits councillors from maliciously or recklessly injuring the professional or ethical reputations of city employees.
That accusation was levelled over Bratina’s claim that chief of staff Peggy Chapman’s raise — to $120,000 from $90,000 a year — was initiated by the city’s human resources staff.
I understand that Mr Hatch worked at Stelco, and according to several people was not well respected.
