This week on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel, Rachel interviews Chestermere residents to see how they feel about their mayor, three councillors, and three CAO’s being dismissed by Municipal Affairs Minister Ric McIver.

McIver has said the city was being governed in an improper, irregular and improvident manner. He has ordered a financial inspection of the city’s books and the city is currently being run by an interim administrator.

The dismissed mayor and councillors allege the province began investigating their council after they found irregular spending patterns in Chestermere’s books. They also say city staff deleted emails and weren’t forthcoming with requested information.

City residents say they have concerns about corruption and want the mayor and the councillors reinstated.
