Should city councillors being paid to be on other committees be considered lobbyists?That’s the question from Councillor Bruce Court. He wants to know whether or not any councillor sitting on another commission being paid, other than their council fee, should be considered a paid lobbyist for the group? Councillor Chris Titus, who is chairman of the Saint John Transit and Saint John Energy committees says he doesn’t like what Court is suggesting.
Court asked the city solicitor if a report could be done for the next council meeting, but the motion was voted down by council.
