According to this newspaper, Jeffrey Granger, a former Canada Revenue Agency team leader, was sentenced to three years in prison “for his involvement in a scheme to help wealthy developers evade taxes and frame Caledon's mayor for taking kickbacks.” Granger is certainly getting what his criminal actions deserve. According to the same article in the Star, he has lost his family, his home and his position of trust and now his freedom. On a personal note, I have worked on Marolyn's three mayoral campaigns and became a personal friend because of this association and because of my respect and admiration for this very principled lady. So I was very much involved with the family when these accusations started. The lowest point was after the brutal physical attack on John Morrison as all seemed to be connected somehow and none of us could say or do anything except watch and wait for the next occurrence and pray it didn't happen. What was most amazing was that during this time Mayor Morrison did not break or give up. She continued doing her job conscientiously and with dignity. We were all confident that this woman we so greatly honoured would triumph over these horrific allegations and personal onslaught and now, with much gratitude, this has finally happened. As Marolyn Morrison has stated that she will not seek another term in office as Mayor of Caledon, she can retire with her excellent reputation intact, knowing she has done an exceptional job, will be missed by many and has done so regardless of the personal trials and tribulations her chosen career created. It is with great pride that I can write that I have known a truly outstanding mayor, an excellent administrator, and a generous woman who always put the Town of Caledon first and foremost in her efforts to do the best for her residents. Most of all, she has always been and will continue to be a devoted wife, a loving mother and grandmother and a true and faithful friend.
