Ferguson Lawsuit Underway

A jury of 5 men and 4 women will be listening to testimony over the next six weeks in the defamation lawsuit launched by the city's pension board against former Common Councillor John Ferguson.

The jurors have been told there will be a lot of documentation to go through and excerpts from Common Council meetings will be played for them to listen to. 

The lawsuit was launched five years ago after Ferguson voiced criticism on the management of the city's pension plan. Ferguson has since become the town manager in St. Stephen and the pension deficit has risen to 190 million dollars.
