Niagara councillor takes leave of absence after sending porn email

[projekktor id=’28237′]
St.Catharines regional councillor Andy Petrowski is taking a personal leave of absence following a call for his resignation from the regional chair. Earlier this week an email from Petrowski’s regional account with a pornographic image was sent out to nearly a 100 people.
On Monday, chair Alan Caslin demanded Petrowski’s resignation over the photo but this morning out of sight of any news media Caslin and Petrowski met and when it was over Petrowski was still a member of council. Instead he is taking a personal leave of absence.
Caslin was tight lipped about why Petrowski didn’t resign. “Due to privacy legislation I can’t make any further comment on councillor Petrowski.”
Caslin didn’t say how long Petrowski would be away and if he was still going to be paid. His email account and government issued devices have been suspended.
Petrowski says while he wrote the email, he did not attach the graphic image. Even though he has apologized he is still blaming someone else, but not saying who.
