Saskatoon city councillor Darren Hill’s job as Ward 1 representative could be on the line at Monday’s council meeting.
After the delayed civic election last Nov. 13, all council candidates were expected to disclose their campaign contributions by Feb. 16.
According to a report filed by returning officer Scott Bastian, nine council candidates did not file by that deadline. That included Hill, who was elected by a margin of just 56 votes over runner-up Kevin Boychuk.
Boychuk was also on that list. Hill did finally file on March 4, with expenses totaling $14,977.49
COMMENT | It s dia-mau-kerusi season again in the DAP

COMMENT | It has been a long-running joke within the DAP after years of seeing desperate leaders fighting to garner seats to contest, that democracy in the party should be more aptly called “dia mau kerusi”, or “he/she wants a seat”.
I had to laugh when I read that a rather petrifying foreign observer commented that DAP leaders were having another slugfest between Chinese chauvinists versus Malaysian Malaysians and yet all the protagonists on both sides had western names like Ronnie, Tony, Hannah, Anthony…
Yes, you do not have to be an expert political analyst to know that it is election time again in the DAP at federal and state levels and that all the name-calling has less to do with democracy than with “dia mahu kerusi”.
