Now it gets interesting. We got an email from a source who says: “So I am involved in a lawsuit involving a downtown Burlington Restaurant owner. I am currently trying to put him in jail.”
The writer had my attention. First thing I had to do was verify that the writer actually wrote the email. Yup – it was real.
The writer continues: “His lawyer emails me the other day and states: “My client has recently advised me of his friendship and political connection with Councillor Rick Craven.
The source goes on to add that there a was a meeting with “the litigant” (that’s the guy the source wants to put in jail) and Councillor Craven regarding downtown events. To be open, I told the arts person I was having coffee with that I was in the process of trying to put “the litigant” in jail.
Now that is a hot news item. Don’t know yet who the restaurateur is, do know that the source of the information is running for office as well. We expect to speak with others on this story later in the week.

Spelling may not be your strong suit, Mr. Parr – but leaving your readership constantly begging for more, certainly is.
A friend of Craven’s!!!! OH MY…..he must be guilty for sure!!
Editor’s note” Councillor Craven is guilty of nothing. He meets with constituents and serves their needs as best he can. What other people do with or want to do with those constituents is no business of Mr. Craven.
I meant that the unnamed litigant is guilty…Not Craven.
You misspelled LigiTant!
