Re: Province will not intervene on council, April 12.
With the unrelenting disgraceful infighting on Nanaimo city council and the resulting widespread public confusion questioning the credibility of all elected officials and appointed staff, the only recourse is for independent investigations by the pertinent outside authorities.
WorkSafe B.C. needs to carry out their independent investigations of all the allegations of bullying (and worse) in the workplace.
The RCMP needs to carry out their independent investigations of all the criminal code violations alleged by elected officials.
The Inspector of Municipalities needs to carry out their independent investigations of all the allegations of illegal meetings, illegal expenditures, and other abuses of process.
The Ministry of Labour must investigate the validity of recent hiring procedures.
Only external, independent, third-party investigations of all the allegations will have any credibility or hope of holding the abusers of the law accountable. Then the voters can decide with some certainty who is worthy of election and who is not.

To the Editor,
I would like to say a heartfelt welcome to our new city manager Tracy Samra. After watching the politics over the past few years it is with relief that I see a new style of leadership that will be a huge benefit to the citizens of Nanaimo. In the past we have been disappointed with the direction of our city, but I now have hope for our city’s future. Thank you to the councillors who were confident Samra was the best candidate.
