Chirico must resign, CAO fired, says citizen behind exposing spending scandal

Call for Resignation and Termination

A citizen's efforts to expose a spending scandal have led to a wave of criticism against North Bay Mayor Peter Chirico.

Following the release of an Integrity Commissioner report, many are calling for Chirico's resignation and the termination of CAO John Severino, who approved the questionable expenses.

Background

Keven Ferris and Nicole Peltier filed four Freedom of Information requests to uncover information surrounding the scandal.

Giorno gave the mayor the most generous interpretation of the code of conduct that he could have. It doesn't even admonish the mayor.

Ferris expressed disappointment but not surprise at the Integrity Commissioner's report, which he believes fails to hold the mayor accountable.
