Episode 424: Former London city councillor facing criminal charges

from The Craig Needles Podcast · host Blackburn Media

It's Friday Round Table time, and Craig opens the podcast by sharing what he knows about the Mariam Hamou arrest story. He goes over where this all may have started, how was got to the point of an arrest being made, what may have been the catalyst for St. Thomas Police filing the charges and more. Then, London Home Builders Association Executive Director Jared Zaifman and United Way Elgin Middlesex Kelly Ziegner joined Craig to analyze the big stories of the week, including council finalizing a budget - will voters be willing to live with a 3.4% tax hike? Then, they talk about potential changes to the 'renoviction' bylaw in the City of London and another exit at the London Police Service Board. The Craig Needles Podcast is brought to you by Downtown London and the Covent Garden Market.
