No, interesting is that if you look at his filings, virtually all of that came out of his pocket, no donations. Mind you, when you're championing an agenda that creates sprawl and enriches greenfield developers, and you run a fencing business that benefits from same, it's very easy for a lot of financial flows to appear more normal.
That’s actually a very interesting angle. Isn’t there a conflict of interest between his business building the stuff that is needed in large quantities for only some planning strategies, and his possible role in guiding the planning used by the Region? He might have to recuse himself from just about everything.
