The Nelson City council are treating the public like fools with their ongoing claims that the performing arts centre will bring economic salvation to the region.
Recently repeated claims of economic nirvana, treat the public with contempt, and getting that huge old breeding sow of a porky, to take off and get airborne, flies in the face of both aerodynamics and gravity, and is an outright deceit.
Council has never quantified that economic flight of fantasy. It has never provided any figures or financial projections to justify their ridiculous claims of huge economic benefit.
Council has not provided any such justification because it knows, that those claims are simply not true.
Council is budgeting $1.1 million dollars per annum, for operating expenses, while making no provision at all for any counter balancing operating income or revenue.
That being the case then it is clear that this project is being proceeded with on the basis of entirely illiterate, artistic, and economic nonsense and wishfull fantasy, rather than any detailed professional analysis of cold hard reality.
If this massively expensive project is not based on any hard economic reality, then it can only be regarded as an entirely reckless application of public funds.
If the council do not know what the financial consequences of this white elephant are, then how can they fulfill their legislative obligations to notify the pubilic of those consequences.
The ancient mariner would be proud to wear this particular albatross around his neck.

- This blogspot is born out of a deep democratic concern about the continual political spin and the outright manipulation and suppression of information by local government and local media. In my view that rampant disinformation has become so extreme that it can only be considered grossly deceptive. This blogspot attempts to provide some balancing transparency to that situation. Hopefully it might even help keep the "buggers" honest.
