Mayor to set the record straight

Mayor Tim Shadbolt today announced he intends to set the record straight regarding media criticism over a Sister City visit and a recent Finance Committee resolution.

“I am angered by the misrepresentation of events and the inaccurate presentation of facts in ‘The Southland Times’ this week. It has been reported that I am on a ten day Sister City visit when in actual fact I will have spent 48 hours in Japan” he stated.

‘’I will be presenting a report to Council early next week which will address these gross inaccuracies and rectify the misconceptions regarding the finance committee marketing resolution.”
