I asked for confirmation that the figures given included costs for the Divisional Court proceedings.
They did but another paid invoice had been overlooked so the check was worthwhile.
The new figures are $498,279.43 for legal. Consultants' costs were $169,678.35.
For a total of $656,678.35.
The figures do not include staff time. Nor lost assessment of mega millions of dollars.
Imagine being a staff person being compelled to take a route which you know leads nowhere. Knowing how much public money and private, is flushing down the sewer.day by day.
Having to say ... Yes Ma-am Yes Ma-am Three bags full Ma-am
Never, ever being able to say what you think .
Being forced to be complicit in acts that are the absolute opposite of the public good.
Knowing where the bones are buried and hoping against hope ,they will never be discovered.
Sounds rather like Harper's conservative party and government.

ReplyDeleteThis is not an uncommon occurance everyday in the working world. There are people doing things that they know are non-starters but they do it anyways because.... that is their job.
I would not expect Town staff to do any less. Unfortunitly, in our world you are paid to do what your superiors tell you to do.
