Gardiner: Stop Cornwall Inquiry Sooner Than Later

March 26, 2008 — Councillor Syd Gardiner says the Cornwall Public Inquiry is something that has to "stop...pretty soon." The latest numbers were mulled over last night. From April, 2007 until January this year, over $2 million went to legal costs related to the Cornwall Police Service. However, the province picked up 68 per cent of the tab leaving the city with a bill of roughly $700,000. Gardiner tells AM 1220 News the inquiry is putting pressure on the police force and hurting taxpayers. (Hear audio clip below) The city is still lobbying the province to pay the entire tab.
