Accountable to no-one
The usual strategy with bad news is to let it dribble out.
The critics run out of steam.
Gosford Council are masters of this art.
The auditors have confirmed that the value of ratepayer's investment in $86 million of US housing debt cannot be determined.
As the price of US housing continues to fall, buckle in for a rocky ride.
The good news is that no one at Gosford Council has lost their job or been reprimanded.
Laycock Theatre now charges local not-for-profit arts companies commercial rates to use community property.
Chris "we haven't lost a cent" Holstein will be our new local Member.
Isn't life grand, when you are accountable to no-one?
