No Solution At All

Wonder why Mayor Dawe wasn't there to share the downpour. Do you suppose he feels responsible?
*************
A more pressing and intriguing question would be the role of Councillors Gaertner,  Ballard at the event. .
The town's efforts to fix the problem with the Culture Centre Board without actually fixing the problem, raises interesting angles by Councillorinvolvement  with organisations separate from their  elected authority.
The last administration created an autonomous body to govern  use of a public facility; Church Street School. 
An agreement was  concurrently signed to purchase non-specific services  provided in a valuable rent and maintenance free building with half a million dollars thrown into the bargain, to increase by 3% year by year. 
The current  administration thought the obvious problem could be resolved  by adding two Councillors to a continuing  autonomous board.
Tweren't never going to work 
The board is no less autonomous by adding two Councillors.
It  would  deprive  Council of two voting members when  financial matters of the board are on the table for discussion.
The Councillor  members would consequently have a conflict of interest  at  Council.. 
They would have  a  pecuniary interest whatever financial  decisions needed to be made.
So here we are, eighteen months after taking office, no closer to  solving the problem  of  continuing to ladle out  hundreds of thousands of dollars  to an outfit that calmly, deliberately and repeatedly thumb their noses at the elected  body and the community it represents.
We are further from  the obvious solution than we were. Tactics are delay. 
We  no longer know who's who among the players.
Already it was clear Councillors Gaertner,Gallo and Ballard were in cahoots with the board. They said so.
Then  came  the Abel- Pirri resolution , carefully constructed with the help of the town solicitor, seemingly supported by the rest of Council, until  the last  word of debate , then suddenly, inexplicably,  sabotaged by Humphryes, Thompson and Mayor Dawe. 
Perniciously, they aligned themselves with Gaertner, Gallo and Ballard. 
As clumsy a maneuver as I have ever seen, to land with a foot on each side of the controversy, to cover their political arses, with all interest of the municipality thrown to the wolves. . 
As  we await advice from a judge on the question, we now  know the town's interest did not come first with this administration , any more than it did with the last.
We have  alignment  between  the Culture Centre Board, the Aurora Historical Society  the Farmers' Market Executive  and  St Kitts Jazz  Bash outfit with  the town's  resources in the centre, continually ripe  for the fleecing . 
Hundreds of thousands of dollars  continually slip through our fingers  without  an iota of accountability.  
While the Mayor writes a column  for The Auroran assuring the community of fastidious efforts on behalf of Council to manage the town's  resources.
You can fool some of the people, some of the time. You  cant fool all of the people, all of the time. 
Lying with the enemy is never a useful strategy.
