Opponents of Hamilton’s rapid transit vision have filed an official complaint against Mayor Fred Eisenberger.

The group argues that light rail transit will create massive billings for Alectra, and as a board member, it questions how the mayor can make unbiased decisions regarding the project.
There is no indication whether or not Ombudsman Paul Dube will consider the request.
