Why are Hamilton Police Service Board members still using private email addresses to conduct public business?

This is ridiculous. This is terrible governance practice! How does City Hall ensure *confidential* info is secure from hacking? [Granted Hamilton City Hall isn't secure]
What about FOI?

The Ward 12 Town Hall on road safety and transit expansion is about get underway.
The Ward 12 Town Hall was a full room. I suspect kids sports and viewing parties for the Jays are among the reasons for a smaller turnout. #yhmcc #hamont (1/2)
