Who on Windsor City Council is the Leak?

The front page headline (bottom right) in today's print edition of the Windsor Star about the City of Windsor contingency plan for the ongoing strike is a little goofy. However, the story itself is an interesting sidebar during a major crisis.

City management, according to Windsor Star "super snooper" Dave Battagello, prepared a 1,000 page report on how to run the City during the the strike. The existence of the document is no surprise, just proper planning.

The bigggg question. Why is this document not public? At least that is the big question for City Councillor Drew Dilkens and some of his colleagues. The answer, it seems, is that some or one member of Council cannot be trusted with the information.

Who could this person or persons be? That is the real question.

Dave Battagello missed the point of his own story! Dave may be a little tired from doing all those Ambassador Bridge stories.

Ok, let's recap. We have a major strike, management prepared a contingency plan, so good so far. The City Councillors can't have a hard copy of the plan because some "leaker" will hand it to the strikers. This is bad and we need to get to the bottom of it.

My advice to Windsor Star Top Honcho Jim Venney and assistant top honcho Marty Beneteau, keep Dave on the story. Only this time have him get the real story. Who would put their own political interests above the City and the taxpayers?

Who is the Leak?
