Common Council will be officially accepting Donnie Snook's resignation tonight which will pave the way for a byelection in Ward 3 on May 13th.
After a one week delay, Council will also be getting the report from the Police Commission which rejects using sidewalk and traffic bylaws to move prostitutes from soliciting on uptown streets.
The Executive-Director of Aids Saint John Julie Dingwell tells CHSJ News the street level sex trade workers in the city are struggling with drug addiction and criminalising them isn't the answer. Dingwell says evidence from across the country shows police crackdowns on street level prostitution make it less safe for the sex trade workers.
She believes it would still be a good idea for the Sex Trade Action Committee to make a presentation to Council.
