More transparency needed @ Moncton City Hall

City Managers Withholding Salary Information

This is disturbing. Not only does Council [and city staffer's] compensation need to become more transparent, it is essential that it be presented to Monctonians in a clear and easily understandable manner, especially after reading the derisory comments made by City Manager Alan Strang in today's Times & Transcript where he indicated, "he would not provide what he considered private information in a public forum."

For the record, I would like to remind Mr. Strang that any use of taxpayers money (municipally) is a public matter, and therefore, the information should be made fully available for public scrutiny (regardless of the rules stated in the right to information act). Anything less is simply unacceptable.

Click here to send a strong message to Moncton City Manager Alan Strang demanding that [he] and the rest of the city managers make their salaries and expenses a matter of public record.

The provincial right to info act is archaic. It's hard to believe their have been amendments made to it since the 1800s.
