Ottawa City Councillors need help

CRUX: Why did Rawlson King Resign from the Police Services Board... during the Trucker Convoy?
During the last municipal election I debated with Rawlson King, Councilor. At this point in the debate we had Mr. King saying how pleased to have been on the Police Services Board....when I called him out on it.
He was 'pleased' to be on the board, lauded his own accomplishments and then quit for political grandstanding purposes.
I told him and Rogers viewers that bothered to watch the debate that was the reason I decided to run against him.
You decide for yourself. By the way, Rogers has removed this video from their library.
To save you time: this is what King said:

What's all this about a tax credit for an airport hotel?
I ran as a a replacement for Jenna Sudds in North Kanata. The councillors under Watson chose Kathy Currie. Recently Ms. Currie, amongst others - including Rawlson King, voted for a tax benefit to proponents of a new airport hotel, which to his credit the mayor Suitcase opposed.
The bewildered Currie cited cries for improved transportation and accommodation options for her North Kanata constituents, especially those among them working in the business park. Unfortunately, this is not the role of city government. The city must provide structure and function, as Clive Doucet argues in part 8 of The Watsonics. The city must provide the infrastructure and services and then let the citizens and businesses do the rest. Why is this so hard to understand?
Well we saw something similar with the Porche dealership on Montreal road. Doucet argues “systemic corruption” as the cause of most problems at city hall, but I doubt this is true concerning the councillor in question. Rather, I suggest that old habits and patterns were at work. My job here is to point that out and the need to think differently about spending precious taxpayer resources.
