Apparently, being mayor means never having to say you’re sorry.

And equally apparent,
Sale Online Mens Running Shoes Nike Free Tiffany Blue, it means you can bully one of your employees in public, knowing as you whip him verbally, there’s absolutely nothing he can say or do.

At Thursday’s budget meeting, during a debate on the U Pass which OC Transpo head honcho Alain Mercier said would cost $3 million O’Brien lashed out.

He told Mercier there was a lack of trust in his numbers.

"Your track record,
Real Shoes Nike Free Run Hot Pink, well, it hasn’t been very good. I only am (voting for it) because quite frankly there’s a certain lack in confidence in the numbers that we’ve been seeing,

Frankly, as shocking as O’Brien’s comments were, it was just as distasteful that no one at council spoke up to defend Mercier.

Now,

And if you’re Mercier,

Order Online Womens Nike Free Hot Punch, take the money and run?

For all of you frustrated with Mercier, why not try to walk a mile in his shoes?

We all know what it feels like from time to time to know that your boss is questioning how well we are doing our jobs,

But to have the mayor publicly dress you down in front of your peers and the public, knowing you can’t say a word in your defence,
Real Cheap Roshe Runs Men, well, can any of us imagine how that feels?

Also curious is where were Mercier’s bosses during this ordeal,

City manager Kent Kirkpatrick has always been a man of honour. Wouldn’t this have been a good time to rush to his staffer’s defence,

Bay Coun. Alex Cullen,
Cheap Nike Roshe, who is running for mayor and works closely with Mercier, rose to his defence on Friday,
You Will Have a Good Time While Buying Items Nike Tiffany Blue, asking O’Brien for an apology.

"I would recommend that you acknowledge that your comments were inappropriate and withdraw them," Cullen wrote in an e mail.

No surprise here, O’Brien isn’t about to say he’s sorry.

Jasmine MacDonnell, the mayor’s communications assistant,
Discount Mens Nike Free Run, sent this e mail to the Sun’s Jon Willing.

"The mayor’s concern around the ability of OC Transpo to provide an accurate cost estimate for the U Pass,
Official Shop Online Tiffany Blue Nikes, given the number of unknown variables related to the proposal, stands,

Cullen isn’t the only mayoral candidate concerned about O’Brien’s comments,

"If the mayor has concerns about the performance of any employee, it should be dealt with not on the floor of council and in the middle of the budget debate, but through proper human resource channels" said Jim Watson,

Even Orleans Coun. Bob Monette,
For Sale Nike Roshe Run Woven Black Anthracite, one of the most faithful councillors to O’Brien,
Buy Real Mens Running Shoes Nike Free Hot Pink, said the mayor was wrong.

"Quite frankly, he should have kept his comments to himself, he shouldn’t have attacked him. I have serious issues with the record of Mr. Mercier but I will not air those at a public meeting.

"You don’t embarrass people in public. I would hope that he apologizes. If I have issues, I will deal with it in my office or in camera. I take strong positions,
Where Can i Buy Womens Shoes Nike Free Tiffany Blue, but this isn’t good for employee morale. It sends a bad message out there."

What’s really distasteful is O’Brien’s willingness to question Mercier’s numbers on the U Pass, a program the mayor wanted to support but couldn’t find the $3 million Mercier said it would cost.
