Hobbs takes dispute with Herman public

The conflict between the city police chief and the mayor has become explosive. Keith Hobbs says Chief Bob Herman has lodged a complaint with the province's Civilian Police Commission about the mayor's conduct at Police Service Board meetings. Hobbs says he's going public because the chief forced his hand. Hobbs says the complaint against him alleges he released confidential information about what went on at closed door sessions at the board. Chief Herman is reviewing the mayor's statement and is expected to make a comment on Tuesday.
