Mike Power removed from Cupids council over sewer line removal – The Compass

In the aftermath of his removal, Kevin Connolly resigned from his position on council as deputy mayor, reducing the towns number of council members to three not enough to hold quorum. Connolly was unavailable for comment prior to deadline. Nominations for the upcoming municipal election will be accepted Sept. 5 at the town hall in Cupids.

They may take legal action against the town, the mayor explained. Right now, were asking for suggestions from Municipal Affairs, and we got options were looking over for the future of council.

When asked if council would replace the pipe, Gordon Power said he doesnt feel as though council has a choice in the matter.

The Compass contacted Mike Power, who also confirmed that he had been removed from council, but stated he could not speak on the matter at length due to legal reasons. When asked for his reasoning for the removal of the pipe, Mike declined to comment.

The Compass was directed to Mike Powers lawyer, Bob Buckingham, for any further questions. Buckingham could not be reached prior to deadline.

The report from the Department of Municipal Affairs and Environment was made public through an access to information request and is accessible online.
