QUESTION.
As stated at the beginning of this mini-series those questions posed were considered to be relevant and compelling questions.
However to conclude, Bullchips would add one further question of its own.
That question is; "If these were the private and personal finances of any Nelson City council individual, would they make exactly the same decisions and use their own monies in exactly the same way they have been prepared to commit public monies?"
The public finance act demands a far higher than normal standard of care and accountability, than any private funds, with those imposed fiduciary duties amounting to a form of risk averse parsimony.
The guardians of any public funds are meant to administer the public purse to a high standard of prudence and care.
The Nelson City council gives scant regard to those standards, and instead treats hard earned public monies in a particularly cavalier manner, for the purpose of funding vested interests and implementing vested agenda.
It is way past time that the public watchdogs savaged this wayward council and brought it under close scrutiny and tight control.

- 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.
