Not all of Niagara's municipal leaders support a release sent out by a group of the region's mayors in favour of moving us into the red next week.
Niagara on the Lake Mayor Betty Disero was the only mayor not to sign the statement which states the mayors are supportive and ready to see the region move into the red level of the province's COVID framework.
Disero telling the Standard she supports reopening the economy but adds she is not a medical expert and she doesn't think as a mayor she is qualified to make that kind of recommendation.
Regional Chair Jim Bradley tells the paper he was not asked to sign the statement
Bradley adding had he been asked he would not have signed on, because as a member of the public health committee, it would be inappropriate for him to sign a letter that ran contrary to the advice of Acting Medical Officer of Health Dr. Mustafa Hirji.
