Mild ripples of scandal permeated the spring 2011 Legislature sitting when MLA Jim Bagnall went public with fraud allegations against Sean Hennessey, a UPEI business professor.

RCMP have not confirmed this week that charges will be laid against Mr. Hennessey, after a year-long investigation. After the allegations were made in the Legislature, Dr. Roberta MacDonald who held the UPEI Dean of Business position since 2002 stepped down. MacDonald is Hennessey’s wife.

Former UPEI President Wade McLaughlin was criticized at the time for not investigating and disciplining Hennessey before his retirement in June 2011.

“If the Eastern School Board can make its decisions, the French school board can make it’s decisions” Paul MacNeill rightly asked the question on CBC Radio.

How can the Premiere justify closing schools saying he can’t interfere with a school board but can interfere in not opening a French school?

CBC’s political panel last night said Ghiz is all wrong in this issue. Ghiz is being hypocritical and cowardly at once on this issue.
