Mayor Bob Bratina is set to deliver his annual State of the City speech before the Stoney Creek Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday.

The address, which he'll give at the Grand Olympia banquet hall, comes amid several controversies going on at city hall.

On Monday, the city announced that it had fired 29 public works employees for "neglect of duties, time theft and/or breach of trust."

Another two staff members received 30-day unpaid suspensions.

City manager Chris Murray said on Monday that the city is talking to police about possible charges, and added that the investigation is continuing.

"We're in the process of reviewing their supervisors," he said. "We're not done."

Will the mayor address the situation in his speech?

"He might," said Peggy Chapman, the mayor's chief of staff.

He may also face questions regarding other issues dogging the city, including the continuing debate about prospect of a casino in Hamilton and the local uproar over the hiring of Ottawa firm Dialogue Partners to engage Hamiltonians on civic issues.

Mayor Bratina's speech is expected to begin at 12:20 p.m.

CBC Hamilton will be live-blogging the speech. Visit this page around noon to tune in.
