Alberta Premier Danielle Smith,Anonymous Letter,Government Of Alberta

Edmonton Coun. Keren Tang is responding to concerns raised in an anonymous letter sent to the province and used by the premier as an example of issues in Edmonton.

Tang’s husband is the co-founder of a non-profit organization. That group received a sponsorship from an Edmonton technology organization.

“Second, she also went out of her way to attend meetings, ask questions and shape committee and council discussions that lead to a favourable lease and purchase agreement,” the person wrote. Tang went on to say that she and all Edmonton city councillors regularly discuss potential conflicts of interest with a city representative.

“I don’t want to pre-judge what may or may not be in a letter that we’ve been told that we’ll receive,” the premier told reporters. “Our leader’s words carry weight and I think for her to put something out there, I want to say so carelessly, puts the City of Edmonton at a great amount of risk,” Tang said.

She also pointed to Bill 18, which inserts the province into funding arrangements between the federal and municipal governments, and legislation which will be tabled Thursday that would create political parties in municipal politics.“It doesn’t make any sense at all why the provincial government feels it has to battle against the elected representatives or the governments or the councils of municipalities,” said Williams.
