In regard the Arataki Community centre, Bill conveniently chooses to leave out of his ‘vote for Bill column' last issue, the most compelling aspect of my attempt to secure a short stay of execution on letting the tender.
I had secured a professional and qualified estimate, in writing, that clearly identified a further saving in excess of $350,000 and up to $500,000. In my book, to make no attempt to confirm or otherwise the authenticity of my assertions represents a ‘dereliction of duty', and ‘theft from the ratepayer'. To deliberately distort the readers understanding of Council business and debate is corrupt.
