I predict the day will soon come when our elected
councillors will be forced to remove the rose-coloured glasses through which
they view Shire CEO Tim Clynch.
More evidence is emerging that the man in whom the
councillors (particularly President Brian Moore) place their complete and absolute faith is not infallible after all. In fact, he may have overseen a number
of serious bungles.
If local retired businessman Pat Wines is correct,
ratepayers have been improperly overcharged -- to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars -- for
the Shire’s waste collection and recycling services and the money will
have to be paid back.
Mr Wines intends to lay out his concerns to councillors
and copy to them questions on the matter he has sent to CEO Tim Clynch.
I think it's time for the councillors to quit acting simply as a
cheer squad for the CEO and his senior staff and start carrying out their sworn
duty to act in the best interests of the ratepayers and electors of the Shire.
PS: I have another prediction… When put on the spot about problems and
mistakes the CEO will do one of the following; a) say it was “an oversight”, b)
blame “workload” or c) say he has (verbal) advice from (an un-named person at) the Department of Local Government that what he did
was ok.
