While I agree somewhat the mayor was given ample chance to pay back the 3000 and then to put the cherry on top he took part in a vote that would benefit him financially. The Global News video mentioned the mayor recused himself on a vote for a change of speed limit 5 blocks from his house, so he knows about conflict of interest. He raised money using the citys letterhead, was told to pay it back 4 times, then voted himself out of having to do so. Seems pretty corrupt to me. The fact that it's over 3000 dollars shouldn't mean too much because if he's willing to be this corrupt over 3000 it really puts his whole character and morality into question.
