GRAND BEND -- Mick •
Rapaport says Grand
Bend's mayor has a per-
sonal vendetta against him
and is using his political
office to hurt Rapaport's
business.
Rapaport and his wife
Nancy Clement operate
Coco's bar on Main St.
from Victoria Day week-
end to Labour Day.
"He's abusing his posi-
tion to rule the little king-
dom of Grand Bend,"
Rapaport said of Mayor
Cam Ivey.
A sign oultstd
1 • .f
reads: "We earned this
place. My father did not
leave me a trust fund."
Rapaport told the T -A
the sign refers to Ivey and
is his way of retaliating for
unfair treatment from the
village's head of council.
In December 1998, Ivey
sent a letter to the Liquor
and Gaming Commission
as the mayor of Grand
Bend, complaining about
the noise, glass on outdoor
patios and fights at Coco's.
In August, the province
suspended Coco's liquor
license for 14 days for per-
mitting the removal of
liquor from the premises
d er*nittin : drunken-
ness, quarrelsome and
violent disorderly conduct
to occur on the premises..
Rapaport says he
expects his taxes will
increase and he'll get
more visits from the liquor
inspectors because of
Ivey's personal dislike for
him. Rapaport said many
other business owners
also feel contempt for Ivey
but are afraid to speak
out.
"He doesn't understand
there are people out there
working for a living,"
Rapaport said of Ivey.
Ivey was not available
for comment when con-
tacted by the T -A .
