David Reiter and Jody Johnson Successfully Represent Pickering’s Compliance Audit Committee
In his capacity as independent prosecutor, David laid five charges in February 2013 after conducting his investigation. The matter resolved on July 19 when Councillor Dickerson pleaded guilty to two charges under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996. In that resolution, he repaid nearly $30,000 to the City and was fined $17,000 for filing an inaccurate financial report and $500 for exceeding his spending limits. As far as we know, in Ontario, this is the most significant penalty ever imposed under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996.
