Future Uncertain for North Bay Mayor
Political science professor David Edward Tabachnick states that the findings against North Bay's mayor are serious and unlikely to be forgotten soon.
Professor Tabachnick, from Nipissing University, believes Mayor Peter Chirico has acted in an "unethical manner" due to his spending habits, but may still salvage his career.
It seems fairly clear that in some specific instances, the mayor has breached parts of ethics or the Integrity Act for politicians.
Despite this, Tabachnick notes that politics is a challenging field, requiring a thick skin to succeed, potentially leaving room for the mayor's recovery.
