Council publication misleading

Q;When is awarding a tender not awarding a tender? 
A; When the Bridgetown-Greenbushes Shire is trying to cover up its incompetence.

No tender has been awarded, so I wonder who is responsible for approving publication of this lie.  I would assume it had to be signed off by CEO Tim Clynch.

A couple of days after the release of the Council's "Insight", this report appears in the local paper...

This report correctly says the Council has identified its "preferred tenderer", but is yet to award a tender.  It also says the Council is looking at "community fundraising" to help pay for the pool.

If you read between the lines, you realise that Council's $4million budget for the new pool is inadequate.  The idea of community fundraising for Council infrastructure is, in my view, ludicrous.  Council already does compulsary community fundraising via its Rates.

Our Council spends most of the money compulsorily acquired from ratepayers on fat salaries and generous conditions for an inordinate number of employees.  Then when it doesn't have enough money to pay for its grandiose projects, it wants us to chip in (again).

Bridgetown families just want a place to swim on a hot day.  The hole in the ground where the pool used to be is a monument to poor decision-making and bureaucratic bungling.

Once again, the "Insight" magazine is providing very little insight.
