ESP municipality to meet Justice Ministry: Mayor goes in "guns-a-blazing"

Members of the East St. Paul municipal government will meet with provincial Justice Minister Dave Chomiak at 3 p.m. this afternoon to discuss Chomiak's decision yesterday to disband the East St. Paul police in favour of the RCMP.

East St. Paul Mayor Lawrence Morris said he will go into the meeting "guns-a-blazing" in an attempt to convince Chomiak to reverse his decision.

Chomiak made the call in response to the report of the Taman Inquiry, which was highly critical of the East St. Paul force and its handling of the 2005 crash that killed Crystal Taman on the outskirts of the community.
