Galgay wrote to the provincial auditor general asking him to investigate the sale.
Two things.
First, a property is worth what the market will pay for it. Galgay can get as excited as he wants but the fact is that the bids demonstrated the value of the property in the current market.
Second, Galgay might want to check out the official city hall view of 50 Bennett Avenue.
St. John's municipal records show that the City of St. John's assessed the former junior high school as a business property with a value of... wait for it... $189,000.
Seems awfully convenient that the numbers matched up like that. If Terry Paddon investigates this sale, he should expand his inquiry to include city hall. Something smells awfully funny. Well, besides the stink from the budget Galgay brought in last year
