concerns police board from page 1 theres no snake in the woodpile he said adding only sinister members of the media would suggest otherwise theres absolutely no conditions to this whatsoever other than it be used by york region residents but at least one police board mem ber richmond hill councillor dave barrow and police union president dave kingston are concerned by the secrecy i would like to know more thats for sure for somebody to give you a heli copter its interesting to say the least said barrow who was unaware the heli copter had been donated until contact ed by the media im not sure to what degree i need to know its one thing not to know every thing but not to know anything and then the man fantino walks away to become chief of toronto police force although the helicopter has been donatedbarrow pointed out taxpayers will still be on tne hook for one thing they will have to pay the operating and maintenance costs then theres the issue of the donor claiming the gift on income taxes im assuming if they have donated it there is some kind of tax receipt involved said barrow somebody will claim that against their income taxes at tax time and taxpayer canadians will pay for the donors reduced taxes barrow said it would be very strange for somebody to make such a magnanimous gesture without expect ing something in return what is the motive does somebody want something in return i dont mean it in a sinister sense that somebody wants the police to turn a blind eye to something i mean the tax receipt he said im going to make some inquiries youre right in asking how does that work and what repercussions are there as an anonymous donor these are questions that have to be asked kingston was also concerned perception is everything maybe it is above board but why do we have to be so secretive about it the chief was the one who said everything would be above board when he became chief fantino replaced former chief bryan cousineau who pleaded guilty to breach of trust for failing to inform the police board about a 125000 personal loan he had arranged with magna international who is this donor why would he be handing over a helicopter and why would it be a secret asked kingston he fantino hasnt told me anything about it the chief thinks everybody is sinister who doesnt agree with him but fantino wondered why the heli copter isnt being accepted at face value there are people motivated by phil- singers wanted do you like to sing if you do consider attending an information session with a cabaret group the marktones on monday january 17 2000 at st

we do take our show out into the community as well lots of social activity if interested please contact linda garment at 9052945859 leave a message if i am not at home and i will call you back asap look forward to hearing from you anthropy there are people motivated by goodwill this is a goodwill gesture 100- percent bona fide he said im afraid were living in a world where we have abandoned all trust of humanity this is not the type of world i want to live in why dont you look at this for what it is an act of kindness fantino said he needed to know the benefactors identity to assure himself the offer was legitimate but he dismissed suggestions that other officials politicians or even his replacement as chief should be in on the secret so they could verify the legitimacy of the deal and make sure the helicopter meets the forces requirements my credibility and believability are on the line if i cant be believed im in the wrong business he said is it a slow news day if people dont want you to know why should you com promise their goodwill and integrity what youre saying is you shouldnt trust me or the public shouldnt trust me thats fine but i have done the hon ourable right thing i can give you and your readers assurances i have been dili gent in every respect police services board chairperson margaret black and regional chairper son bill fisch a member of the board both defended accepting a free heli copter which must still be approved by the board black a lawyer who is also mayor of king township said shes satisfied because toronto solicitors reviewed the deal maybe the issue is somebody would eventually tell there are generous peo ple in the world there are people who believe what you give you get back 10- fold black said keeping the donors identi ty a secret prevents politicians from rewarding the benefactor fisch said hes in favour of the gift because a helicopter will be an asset to the york force but he said the board will not start accepting other anonymous contributions if it was something else that didnt have the importance and value of a heli copter we would look at it differently it is a helicopter its not a fleet of cars or cell phones it is what it is he said anonymity is the only condition there are no other strings attached im prepared to accept the chiefs word ladies designer fashion clearance s4bubm off a huge selection of
