The Sarnia mayor said that there is very little recourse for municipalities in dealing with problematic behaviour from elected officials.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe problem is the only penalty that\u2019s there right now is a 90-day pay freeze, which really means nothing when you\u2019re part-time councillor and that\u2019s it,\u201d Bradley said. \u201cSo the sanctions are very few and far between.\u201d<\/p>\n
