Rule of Law So, you think it's OK for elected officials to state a personal preference for a potential vendor, even though there is neither professional nor personal advantage for doing so, before the bids have even been received?

I never made any accusation about Ferguson's relationship with Tim Horton's, as I stated in the article.

In my opinion, what Basse should have said was that while there was no finding, nor any claim, of a relationship between the Councillor and the vendor, the Councillor did misspeak and is advised to refrain from declaring a preference for a vendor in public in future, lest he create the impression of a relationship and/or an impression of influence over vendor selection.

But hey, that's only my opinion of how I think the standard to which our officials should be held.
