Spending our money on themselves

The post below and others like it have little impact on our councillors and staff.

The July Council meeting lasted one hour. Each of the councillors was paid $465 for this. Afterwards they adjourned for a ratepayer-funded meal and alcoholic drinks. Every councillor voted in favour of every suggestion by the Council officers. No ideas were put forward by any councillor. Most of the meeting was spent discussing who would go to this year's Local Government Association Annual Meeting in Perth. Six councillors and the CEO will go, at a cost to us ratepayers of $14,000 in meeting fees, accommodation, travel and meals.
