Patrick Woods: Pension Board

City Managers Dept: Rod Gillis contends Nugent and other senior city managers, including current city manager and pension board member Patrick Woods, were nervous about a list of 30 questions then-councillor Ferguson had submitted to pension experts hired by the city and took action to stop him from getting answers, according to CBC. Woods told the Court of Queen's Bench he was sure Ferguson's questions were all answered, but said he would search city records and report back to court Wednesday morning and john Ferguson's defence lawyer says his client was forced into making a controversial presentation about the Saint John pension board to city council in 2006 by the manipulations of city solicitor John Nugent. "You city staff have two choices. Go on the offensive or answer Ferguson's questions," Gillis said to Woods, who was on the stand in Ferguson's defamation trial for a third day Tuesday. "Show me the answers." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
