Grieve said a letter to Dr. Jack Luftman, chairman of the Save the Fairground Committee, from his solicitor, had been sent to Luftman as a representative of the Markham Ratepayers. Luftman has since given the letter to 'council and used it to raise questions about the legality of the sale of the Markham Fairgrounds by the Markham and East York Agricultural Society.
