That’s according to Ontario Elections contributions statements brought to light yesterday by the Ontario NDP. But Oakville Hydro CEO and president Rob Lister said Oakville Hydro Corporation purchased a table at an annual heritage dinner, held in Toronto, an annual business networking event for the years and amounts in question. “The situation is that back in 2009, Shocking donation. Oakville Hydro purchased a table at the heritage dinner,” Lister told The Oakville Beaver Monday. Lister said the political party contribution is “unrelated.” “Oakville Hydro Corporation purchased a table,” said Lister, indicating he wasn’t aware what the organizers did with the funds raised by the dinner. “All I know is that Oakville Hydro was at an event in Toronto,” he said. Lister said the same scenario applied for the two years in question. Lister assured that the table was purchased with funds from Oakville Hydro’s revenue-generating businesses (including telecommunications and construction companies) and not from taxpayers or consumer of the utility’s electricity distribution company. Asked if the issue appears damaging to Oakville Hydro, Lister said he was fielding media enquiries today and at this point Oakville Hydro Corporation has no plans to attend this year’s dinner.

Barbecuing in garage causes deadly gas... Donation of Oakville Hydro to political party This donation is an outrage and smacks of total disregard for taxpayers monies. It's simply porkbarrel politics at its worst. How Burton can claim "it's for the good of Oakville" is utterly disgusting and shows his disdain for residents. It's only too bad that this was not publicly known prior to the municipal election. Shame on you Petali Burton, shame on you Oakville Hydro.

The legality of this "donation" may be yet to be settled, but to use public monies for any political reason is, in my mind, unbelievable and corrupt. This action brings into question the moral fiber of every member on the Board. How could this be passed, and I can't believe every member is a Liberal supporter! Were funds directed at other parties as well? Why were they getting involved in another regions politics anyway? It makes one wonder what the outcome of our recently past municipal election results may have been if this info had been released two months ago.
