Rideau Lakes mayor reprimanded for leaking probe details and false claims about veto powers.
The Township of Rideau Lakes council publicly reprimanded Mayor Arie Hoogenboom after an integrity commissioner found he violated the code of conduct by disclosing confidential investigation details and making misleading media statements about using strong mayor powers to veto a tender.
The reprimand, approved by five councillors, cited breaches including public acknowledgment of the probe and claims of approval from MPP Steve Clark, which were later clarified as inaccurate.
Hoogenboom, who abstained due to a conflict of interest, called the reprimand excessive and politically motivated, noting he had already served a six-month pay deduction.
Three councillors opposed the decision, reflecting ongoing council divisions.
