Newly-elected Arnprior Mayor Lisa McGee is getting some flack over taking a companion job in her field of interest.
There was some discussion during the last Arnprior Council term about paying the Mayor a full time salary, and that didn’t fly- so many of current Council continue with outside jobs.
Mayor McGee gave up her job to run for office in the recent election.
And another job has subsequently arisen in Ottawa’s West Carleton Ward, where she formerly worked as a constituency assistant.
Before taking the assignment with newly-elected Ottawa Ward Five Councillor Clarke Kelly in Kinburn, Arnprior Staff researched potential conflicts.
Lisa McGee- when she orders up a cup of politics, it’s a double-double.
