Carleton Place councillor charged with assaulting the mayor

The acrimony at Carleton Place Town Hall reached a boiling point Friday when a local councillor was charged with assaulting the mayor.

A subsequent investigation resulted in one count of assault being laid against Doug Black, 65, a longtime Carleton Place councillor and IT consultant.
