Mayor Denies Allegations About His Leadership Style

Mayor Ivan Court firing back at Deputy Mayor Stephen Chase for his recent comments on the mayor's leaderships style. Chase described an employee-centric atmosphere of intimidation at City Hall, saying the mayor set a poor tone for the rest of city staff.

Court explains to us it wasn't his leadership style that was the problem--rather, the loss of Common Councillor Joe Mott meant the votes were often deadlocked 5-5 and it was difficult to move things forward.

The mayor said he's proud of what council has accomplished--and if some people disagree, that's just part of the job.
