“(Flamborough) negotiated for (the casino) with the Ontario Gaming Corporation. We knew what we were doing. We took on that contract,” said the Ward 15 councillor.
“I want to know why the contract with the Ontario Gaming Corporation and the Town of Flamborough was not honoured by council,” demanded McCarthy and her lawyer Benjamin Levinter in the message.
They compare Flamborough’s contract with the OGC, which was signed in November 1999, to the contract Taro Aggregates Ltd. and Phillip Environmental Inc. have with the former city of Stoney Creek. McCarthy also referred to the tipping fees totaling “close to half a million dollars kept in that former community every year” since amalgamation.
Although Stoney Creek councillor Brad Clark and Mountain councillor Scott Duvall were dismissive of McCarthy's efforts to get council to reverse its decision to apply the Flamboro Slots revenues to Hamilton's general levy, city staff has been instructed to review her arguments.
McCarthy is demanding a response from councillors by June 24.
Please see the Friday, June 20 issue of the Flamborough Review for the full story.
