London, Ont. councillors honour themselves.
City councillors voted to give themselves Queen's Diamond Jubilee medals, leaving other worthy nominees empty-handed.
February 12, 2013
When the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medals where introduced last year, they were meant to recognize the contributions and outstanding achievements of Canadians. However, the municipal government of London, Ont., named "the worst council ever" by one local paper, saw it as a chance to honour its own work. After the city's scandal-plagued Mayor Joe Fontana nominated all 14 members for the award, the councillors voted in an in-camera session late last year to give the medals to themselves, a move that only came to light last week.
There is more - but this is the heart of the matter, as reported by MACLEAN'S.
Comment to this story by Embarrassed__Again: You forgot to mention that Councillor Denise Brown nominated her teenage son because he volunteers.
Scandal-plagued: May 26, 2014 will be the first day of Mayor Fontana's trial. Accused of using taxpayers' money - while still a Liberal MP - to help pay for his son's wedding reception.
