OSHAWA, ON, May 22, 2013 /CNW/ - Oshawa's Auditor General, Ron Foster has advised Oshawa Council that he "has not been able to fulfill his statutory duties without fear of reprisal and other limitations imposed by City Manager. Budget restrictions, reporting restrictions and continual expansion of responsibilities have threatened his independence and ability to fulfill his statutory obligations, approved mandate and reporting responsibilities…" stated Councillor Bruce Wood. "Foster was forced to blow the whistle when he determined that Confidential Reports CM-12-32 and CM-13-29 on the acquisition of land were materially misleading and may cost taxpayers upwards of $two million" added Wood.
