Cr James Casson was advised not to comment on his formal complaint about Cr Dave Macpherson's conduct (file photo). The Hamilton City councillor at the centre of a firestorm over his Facebook comments has complained about a colleague. But the mayoral hopeful has now made a formal complaint about one of his most vocal critics, council colleague Dave Macpherson. Macpherson was told about the code of conduct complaint on Tuesday night, and expressed disbelief on Facebook. He said the complaint was "for calling [Casson] out on his racist, pro-gun lobby comments; and for going on media & social media criticising him".
