Fair Comment on Local Media Coverage Part 3 of 3

Also on the topic of political alliances, Rob Clark’s wife, Shannon Clark, was the creator of the facebook page "Stand Up for Newmarket" which went unreported in the Era.  For readers who aren’t familiar with "Stand Up for Newmarket", it was a chat site dedicated to posting disparaging remarks about Ward Six Councillor Maddie Di Muccio until it was taken down in the summer. 

Do these folks sound like community leaders to you?

All of this underlies the major issue with Town Hall.  It is a "good old boys" club and Era reporter Teresa Latchford is helping promote and sustain the old ties.  However, this isn’t Newmarket.  Like what happened in Markham, Vaughan and Richmond Hill, the "good old boys" are waning and new blood is on its way.
