McGrogan pushes for municipal audit after council case
The Medicine Hat council faces a split victory in court over a code of conduct dispute involving Mayor Linnsie Clark and City Manager Ann Mitchell. Coun Andy McGrogan plans a motion to seek a municipal affairs inspection of city hall, with advisor George Cuff calling the ruling balanced and urging an audit if properly scoped. The decision lifts bans on Clark from chairing meetings and speaking for the council and restores her salary.
