A former Saint John city councilor has re-surfaced in the Town of St. Stephen. John Ferguson has been hired as the town’s Chief Administrative Officer. Ferguson you’ll remember fell out of favor at City Hall after allegations of making slanderous comments about the pension board which resulted in an on-going lawsuit against him. Ferguson tells CHSJ News, he doesn’t suspect the Town has an issue with hiring someone currently in litigation with another municipality and it never came up during the interview.
Ferguson adds he can’t talk about the on-going court case with City Hall which is still in the discovery process. The new job in St. Stephen will pay Ferguson $75,000 dollars a year which he will start next week on the 28th.
