WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE – Lethbridge Mayor calls fellow councillor “moron” and “lazy” in leaked emails
LETHBRIDGE – UPDATE: Lethbridge News Now has reached out to Councillor Joe Mauro at the cell phone numbers listed on his City of Lethbridge Page, along with the residential telephone number listed. We left messages on his mobile lines, while a message on what is listed as his residential telephone number indicates that line is no longer in service.
“You clearly don’t have the intellectual capacity to do the job as councillor competently” – Mayor Chris Spearman to Councillor Joe Mauro.
That is just one line from an e-mail handed out not only to the public prior to Monday’s Lethbridge City Council Meeting, but also to reporters. The letter, part of a chain of emails involving Mayor Chris Spearman, Councillor Joe Mauro and ARCHES involves a complaint from a citizen whose vehicle was broken into while taking groceries from their truck into their home last April.
According to the e-mails, when the citizen checked their vehicle, some change and other small items were taken, but two syringes, along with a tourniquet were left behind.
