A Little Help Please ...

A reader informed me that Councillor Tom Hempen doesn't reside in the ward he represents.  Naturally, I was intrigued.  He lists a Main St. address on his election related documents posted on the www.newmarket.ca web site.  Yet I noticed when he declines to vote on Main St. related issues, he lists a business that his mother owns as the reason for not voting .  It begs the question, if Councillor Hempen doesn't own the Main St. business, should he be allowed to list that address on his election related documents?  Is that legal?

A search of the Internet has failed to show where Councillor Hempen resides, or if he is the owner of a business in Newmarket, or if he has any ties whatsoever to Ward 4.  Does anyone know?
