Grace Tridico, the Huron-Superior Catholic School Board trustee convicted of election irregularities committed during the November 2006 municipal election, says she'll run for something in the next municipal election.
She just hasn't yet decided what.
"There are three positions that are available," Tridico told members of the media after a school board meeting tonight. "There's City Council, trustee or the mayor. You never know."
In May 2007, Tridico was found guilty of having provided false information to a municipal elections staffer and having been party to an offence of voting in a place other than where a voter was supposed to vote.
Her father, Orlando Tridico, was also convicted of election irregularities.
Those convictions were overturned.
In October 2009, the Crown won the right to appeal.
And two weeks ago, the convictions were restored by the Court of Appeal for Ontario.
But Tridico hinted tonight that the legal wranglings may not yet be over.
"It's still in the works," she said, referring further questions to her lawyer.
The Crown could technically have asked Justice of the Peace Kathleen Bryant to order Tridico to step down from her position or to be banned for running for municipal election for six years from the date of the offences.
This request was not made, however, because a legal error by the Crown caused the case to be heard by a justice of the peace who could not order Tridico's removal from office.
Only a judge could have done that.
Tridico has continued as an active Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board trustee throughout the proceedings.
The voter she was convicted of being a party to voting in a place other than he was entitled was Orlando Tridico, her father.
