I presume the city council CEO and the communications manager will be getting an apology from Cr Evans, after he incorrectly insinuated either of them was lying.
In his usual confused and misinformed style, Cr Evans claimed that he was refused access to a Baypark document, then claimed CEO Town wrote to him it was destroyed, while he also claimed the Communications Manager Hughes said the original was in the file.
'They can't both be right,” he crowed in the letters pages of the Sun.
This was parroted by an Andrea Hoyle, who turns out to be a girlfriend.
Now the truth has been simply explained, both Ms Hughes and Mr Town are right and Evans and Hoyle are wrong. It transpires that the document Evans was given to peruse was in fact a copy of the original, which had been destroyed after his viewing, as per Mr Town's letter to him. The original, as explained by Ms Hughes, is safely filed. The accusations have meant a lot of wasted time for the council staff, a lot of wasted space in the newspaper and a lot of wasted readers' time and energy trying to figure what Cr Evans and his girlfriend Hoyle have been banging on about for several weeks.
This is merely another example of Cr Evans's obsessive and misguided behaviour that has been wasteful and costly to the ratepayer. He has been the greatest waste of oxygen the city has seen.
People, you know what to do. (abridged)
