The landlord of the controversial rat infested apartment in downtown North Bay wants to set the record straight over what exactly happened a few weeks ago. John Wilson called a news conference yesterday where he expressed disappointed by the lack of action by the two city organizations he asked for help. Wilson says he called the Humane Society and the Health Unit before he went to the media with the story, and took issue with comments made by Darryl Vaillancourt.
Wilson says it’s important to have service agencies provide the expected services, but be transparent and truthful with their operations. He hopes in the future the agencies will listen and pay more attention. Wilson wonders if it’s a problem to have a politician in charge of a service agency, because they seem to be unable to do anything but spin.
