TVT further misinformation
The only ambiguity exists in Tay Valley Township deflection of the facts. Federal and Provincial voting have regulations have no such restrictions. Eight years of unchanged Ontario Municipal Election Act regulations affirm candidate  contacting voters at home. The ridiculous contention that phone and internet contact is prohibited only exists in th eyes of TVT Staff who changed the wording of the Municipal Elections Act to defend their election tampering. One of the candidates in the election that received the tampering stated. No noe thought to verify that what was communicated was false. Town Clerk is a privileged powerful position requiring a high degree of trust. Clerk Amanda Mabo violated that trust. How can anything she says or writes be believed. be believed. from 

The true nature of TVT Staff is revealed in CAO Amanda Mabo's falsely quoting The Ontario Municipal Elections Act to justify her election tampering. the majority of Current council endorses this behaviour. How can they be trusted to represent their constituents in the best interests of the township?

TVT news release

TVT Media Blitz

 

Reeve Rob Rainer taking advantage his position as Reeve with instant access to media, TVT residents, radio interview and press releasees is desperately trying to justify his and Council actions with no relevant facts.

 

Reeve Rainer emphasizes the harassment of employees. The public exposure of TVT Staff misconduct and malfeasance could have been handled through the complaint procedure. The complaint procedure was used multiple times. He and his Council actively support TVT Staff lying the public, knowingly issuing false reports, interfering with elections, supressing Councillor misconduct in Council session, He talks of the existence of a complaint policy to deal with complaints. Had TVT Council dealt effectively with complaints, performed their legislated duties to oversee actions of staff and ensure openness, transparency and accountability occur in TVT, none of this public display would have happened. 

 

This Council has made no effort to enforce in any manner the TVT Employee Code of Conduct or demonstrated evidence of false reports, minutes and in full knowledge of the falseness of TVT CAO Mabo.

 

If a resident is unhappy with the result of their complaint, they are told they can appeal to the Ontario Ombudsman. The ado this with full knowledge that the Ontario Ombudsman will not sanction elected officials or employees under their control. TVT ignores Ombudsman recommended practices and direct communication condemning having the dual role of Solicitor/Integrity Commissioner.

 

Election.

 

There was a  problem in 2018 with regard to Clerk Amanda Mabo calling a campaign worker informing her that she was violating the Municipal Elections Act by calling people in their residence. Amanda Mabo fabricated and falsely quoted legislation to justify her action of contacting the campaign worker of Judy Farrell. What kind of person would do this? What kind of person would endorse this action?

 

This Council refuses to act on this and ,in fact, states it has full confidence in CAO Mabo.

 

What kind of Council endorses this action? How can anything CAO Mabo publishes, approves or advocates can be believed? Her action was intentional, to justify her action and to coverup her unlawful interference. There is a litany of other types of misconduct that can be debated. There is no ambiguity n this instance.

 

Administrative Staff Compensation increase.

The study had to do with pay classifications and scales. Closed meetings of this violate Ontario Onbudsman guidelines. Councillor Andrew Kendrick asked for a copy of the entire study and was refused. The question is not that the raises were or were not justified. It has to do with the concealing of the study. 

 

TVT Integrity Commissioner. 

The 2025 report states there was one complaint. There were three. The three complaints with file numbers and dismissals required 17 pages of correspondence. The complaint with references are available here. The TVT Integrity Commissioner annual report portrays a false image of TVT. Three complaints have been disclosed to this site.  How many others are hidden?

 

Report:  

Dismissal 1 

Dismissal 2

Dismissal 3 

Rainer response:  

 

With regard to dismissal three. TVT Integrity Commissioner only accepted CAO, Amanda Mabo’s narrative. He consulted no other witnesses. He effectively discounts the testimony of three TVT residents. He states no action to be taken because TVT Deputy Reeve apologized. There was no apology, no mention in meeting minutes of the incident or the apology. This Council approved the meeting minutes. Council denied a complaint as to the accuracy of the meeting minutes. Council has actively participated in the coverup of gross Councillor misconduct. 

 

 

 

 

Legal fees.

Actual comparables with other municipalities are available here. TVT publishes AMO rural guidelines for legal fees. The point I raise is that TVT Integrity Commissioner/Solicitor is the direct beneficiary of the litigious nature of TVT, which over a seven year period has billed 250% higher than comparables. Link

Case law demonstrating intentional TVT violation of Resident Legal Noncomforming Legal rights

Analysis by Gowling WLG highlights that legal nonconforming rights (commonly known as "grandfathered rights") are among the most robust protections available to landowners under Ontario land use planning law. Codified in Section 34(9) of the Planning Act, these rights dictate that municipal zoning by-laws cannot be applied retroactively to outlaw a land use, building, or structure that was lawfully established before the by-law was passed.

Pierman Letters
 

Pierman refuses to discuss the coverup of disgraceful "Dobbie Affair of which there is no record, IC investigation called no witnesses and stated remedies that did not happen.

Councillor Pierman stated she was researching details regarding the false 2025 Integrity CommissionerReport. Five weeks later no response to Integrity Commissioner Tony Fleming's claim of only one complaint despite his file numbers 29235-48, 29235-49 and 29235-51 with decisions involving 15 pages of reports that are are on this site.

Pierman moves on to MMFOIIPA (Freedom of Information requests. TVT uses excessive fees t discourage disclosure. Resident Cathy Anderson was quoted over $1500 involving 53 Staff hours to provide the same information other municipalities provided for free for $15.

Further on Pierman refers to concealed audio recordings and Blueberry Creek references. This was long before Pierman's tenure on Council. This site stated the recording was unconcealed. Councillor Pierman took Staff position that it was concealed. 

The fraud of TVT Staff compensation increase is well documented on this site. References to the Ontario Sunshine list reveal steady increases in compensation all above inflation.

Lang response to Pierman
Bizarre Pierman response.
She claims to have no knowledge of the recording. Did she even write or understand the content of her first letter?
