The Landon Leak

Calgary has a leak -- but this time, it's not a water main. It's a city councillor. Last week (Sept. 3), Ward 14’s Landon Johnston revealed he’d shared confidential preliminary budget documents with the media -- much to the frustration of Mayor Jeromy Farkas and other members of council. Why did Johnston do it? What are the impacts? What powers, if any, does city council have to prevent further leakage? And what does this fracas say about the functionality of our current city council? Jenny and Loren walk us through this developing story. This is Calgary is hosted by Jenny Howe, and produced by CBC Calgary. Thoughts? Story ideas? thisiscalgary@cbc.ca
