TRILLIUM TALK: Nobody wants to work for the city anymore

Every Sunday morning, one of our legislative reporters from The Trillium provides an inside look at the week that was in Ontario politics — and the week ahead

Welcome back to Trillium Talk, a weekly briefing from your go-to source for political reporting at Queen's Park.

Every Sunday morning, Village Media's Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our staffers at The Trillium to talk about the week that was in Ontario politics — and the week ahead.

Today's guest is reporter Jack Hauen, who was our eyes and ears at this week's conference of the Rural Ontario Municipalities Association. There was plenty to cover, from the potential amalgamation of public health units to the sticky question of how to fire elected city councillors who harass their co-workers.

But there was one issue on the agenda that attracted a standing room-only crowd: Why doesn't anyone want to work for the city anymore?

Hauen has the answer in today's edition of Trillium Talk.
