<\/a>In his story, Wark refers to the mayor\u2019s brother, Peter Mesheau, as being the vice-president of marketing and communications at AIL. The same title has been used by other publications including the Financial Post. But in a June 27 letter to Wark from a lawyer representing Peter Mesheau, that title is called \u201cinnaccurate and misleading\u201d. The lawyer notes that Peter Mesheau\u2019s title is \u201cSenior Advisor, Marketing and Communications\u201d, and that he has never been an \u201cofficer, shareholder, or corporate director\u201d of AIL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The letter also says that Wark\u2019s story is potentially harmful to Peter Mesheau\u2019s reputation, by suggesting the possibility that he might benefit financially from the zoning change approved by council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wark has updated his story to reflect Mesheau\u2019s senior advisor title, but notes in his response to the letter, that a title of vice president has been used in various media reports and business documents over the past nine years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wark has filed a formal complaint with the town of Sackville under council\u2019s code of conduct policy. Wark says that Mayor Shawn Mesheau should have declared a conflict of interest and recused himself from the meetings when the amendment was discussed and approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mayor did not vote on the amendment that cleared the zoning path for AIL\u2019s factory, but he did chair the meetings in question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
