Stop the City of Surrey from Paying for Mr. McCallum's Legal Bills.
Stop the City of Surrey from Paying for Mr. McCallum's Legal Bills.
The City of Surrey has announced they will be paying the legal fees for Mr. McCallum on his recent criminal charge of Public Mischief.
When the alleged incident occurred, Mr. McCallum was on personal business, which he clearly stated during media interviews.
As part of the decision to support Mr. McCallum, the City of Surrey announced: The Surrey Officer and Indemnification Bylaw from 2006 states that the “City will indemnify its Municipal Officials against payment of amounts required or incurred to defend an action, prosecution or claim brought against a Municipal Official.”
What needs to be made clear is that Mr. McCallum was NOT acting in an official capacity at this time. He was doing personal shopping for groceries. He could have simply walked on by and done his shopping and left the citizens alone doing what they had a right to do.
It is completely inappropriate for Mr. McCallum to use hard earned taxpayer funds to defend himself in court on a personal matter. This is a total abuse of his position and needs to be stopped.
SIGN THE PETITION NOW TO DEMAND MR. McCALLUM PAYS HIS OWN LEGAL BILLS.
