This week, city hall reporter Bob Bruton takes a closer look at how politicians are dealt with when it comes to questionable actions

"Until there are real consequences for bad behaviour, some municipal councillors are going to be badly behaved," Bruton writes. 

Because as it stands, their reckoning really only comes on Election Day.

Last week, Orillia-based reporter Tyler Evans, whose work also regularly appears on BarrieToday.com, tells you his story about how he got into the news business. He began his journey at the age of 15 at the Sunshine City's former daily newspaper, The Packet & Times, before heading off to college to study broadcasting. Now, at age 24, Tyler is one of the key players in our regional news coverage.
