'Angry' Flamborough residents considering legal action
(Ancaster News, Kevin Werner, Jan 22 2018)
Decisions by the Ontario Municipal Board and Hamilton councillors have prompted a group of Flamborough residents to think about de-amalgamating from the city again.
Roman Sarachman, the chair of the de-amalgamation group Free Flamborough, said a number of residents are talking about legal action, de-amalgamation, and creating petitions against Hamilton to be presented to the Ontario government after the Ontario Municipal Board eliminated Ward 14, one of two Flamborough representatives from around Hamilton’s council.
They were also upset that Hamilton politicians in an 8-7 vote decided not to appeal the board’s ruling....
Sarachman, who met with a number of residents Jan. 22, confirmed they have been seeking legal advice to appeal the board’s decision. They are also considering other options such as suing the city and Eisenberger, collecting a petition and demanding the province allow Flamborough to de-amalgamate.
He said he has talked to Flamborough’s councillors Judi Partridge and Pasuta, about residents’ options. He said a decision, including possibly holding a town hall meeting, on which direction to go will be made “very soon,” possibly within a month.
