Article abridged - You should remember our mayor as the one ultimately responsible for the Lions Club AAP (Alternate Approval Process), that sneaky negative vote fiasco, whereby council now has the authority to lease the majority of John Phillips Park south of the pond to the Lions for their road entrance, 80 parking stalls, and two-story clubhouse construction? Bye bye parkland if that happens !
