Paul Turenne from the Winnipeg Sun is reporting:
Giving Gene Simmons the key to the city was “a big mistake for our city,” the speaker of Winnipeg’s city council said Thursday.
One day after the 61-year-old KISS frontman and reality TV star was handed the key to the city, Coun. Grant Nordman spoke out against the move, revealing that he advised the mayor’s office against it because of Simmons’ unabashed claims of having slept with thousands of women over the years.
“Initially when the press release came out I replied back to the mayor’s office and said ‘is this a joke?’” Nordman said. “I told them it’s a big mistake for our city.”Nordman said he doesn’t believe Simmons is a worthy recipient because of his womanizing.
“He’s just not a role model,” Nordman said. “The morality of the guy and his lack of humility about it is just not a good fit for our city.”Read more here.
