RALEIGH BICYCLES - BICYCLE REPAIRS ROLLIE'S sPCOYRCTLSE& Highway 21 - "Just North of the Bridge" - Grand Bend Request for details declined, offer financial statements The Grand Bend village council agreed to turn over financial statements covering the past three years to Ted Whipp, editor of The North Lambton Sun. The paper had requested by letter the community's budgets from 1972 along with a breakdown of the works department budget and municipal employee salaries. Council declined to provide the employee wages to the newspaper. Council asked Mr. Whipp, present at the meeting, why he needed the figures but were not satisfiedwith answer he gave. "I feel I am entitled to the information or at least access to the information said Mr. Whipp, commenting he wanted the in- formation for news story. Reeve Bob Sharen said the council could hardly authorize the expenditure of taxpayers' money for Mr. Whipp, par- -ticularly when he was unwilling to inform them of the nature of the article. "You are not telling us what you want to write. There is a possible invasion of privacy. 1 don't know why we should spend tax dollars to give it to you." said Reeve Sharen. In a motion passed by council authorizing the financial statement be turned over to the North Lambton Sun,council agreed to contact the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs and a solicitor regarding the situation. Councillor Harold Green, commenting that the story sounded like "a shoot down story", said he could see no reason why wages three years ago were newsworthy. "Wages are a personal affair," said the reeve. New councillor Robert Simpson suggested that if the story was going to be detrimental to the community he wanted "no part of it". "If you want to know what a former employee was making, go ask him." suggested councillor Bill Baird. Councillor Simpson said he felt the newspaper should receive the same information as available to any taxpayer.
