Dear Editor,
It is a very high standard, but a very basic tenement of management. The fact is that a settlement of this size is catastrophic for the harbour.
I disagree with your editorial of “costly mistake” – there is no such thing. There is only accountability when it involves transactions of this magnitude. It is irrelevant whether he knew or not – He is the Director – and should have known.
Mr. Mingo needs to resign immediately. Anything short of that is the typical nepotism and favouritism that has been protecting “Teflon” Mark Mingo, and is a direct insult to all my former colleagues that were shown the door for far less costly “should have knowns.”
Allard Stamm,
Former Director EDC – ousted because "I should have known" that Don Hughes would protest a retail facility at the Harbour, and unlike Mr. Mingo my “Teflon” was vacationing in Miami.
