"Goodmorning. Goodevening. Goodnight"
Cliff Gyles jailed after appeal denied: "Former Mississauga councillor Cliff Gyles was sent to jail yesterday after a panel of judges dismissed the appeal of his 2003 conviction and sentence for demanding and taking bribes.
Gyles, 60, had been free on bail since electing to appeal his case in September 2003 following a guilty verdict on two counts each of municipal corruption and breach of trust.
He had been sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison after the court heard evidence that the former councillor demanded and accepted $35,000 in bribes from two Malton businessmen in return for his approval on two rezoning applications.
Gyles is expected to go to a Kingston-area penitentiary in a week. He'll be eligible for parole after serving one-sixth of his sentence, or five months."
