“I feel very comfortable” – Serge Newberry

“I feel very comfortable” – Serge Newberry

Last night, the Mayor of l’Île-du-Grand-Calumet Serge Newberry was present for the Regional Council of Mayors meeting at the MRC Pontiac, where he said he felt very comfortable to be representing his municipality at the MRC. This even though the council of mayors and the Warden are proceeding with denouncing an perceived conflict of interest to the Commission municipale du Québec. Remember that following news story issued by CHIP 101.9, the council of mayors learned that Mayor Newberry owns two islands located on the edge of the outlined park project for the Lafontaine Island, and, despite this fact, Mayor Newberry still sat on the committee for this project. Serge Newberry failed to declared this conflict ofinterest and the council of mayors did not know about the islands. However, this did not prevent Serge Newberry from speaking several times to the MRC, asking for the MRC to commit to such a project and asking that he be part of the committee to establish the park.
