As we read another great article this evening from “The Terrier” it appears that not only does Council not know what is going on with it’s 81 credit cards, it seems there is confusion as to what Councillors know about the whole issue.
This is taken from Mayor’s response to The Terrier!
“In early November Mr Anson, while briefing me on a range of matters after I was elected mayor, made me aware of the situation and indicated that WCC policy would be amended to make it more prescriptive based on the outcomes of his investigation“
As this was an internal staffing matter, Councillors were not involved as confidentiality was required.
Now this is what Councillor Rob Anderson had to say!
Warrnambool Councillor Rob Anderson said Councillors were involved in strategic matters, not operational.
“We were advised when it happened and the money paid back, but the day-to-day running of the council and staff is not directed by Councillors,” he said. (Source Warrnambool Standard 17th. July 2019)
Always tell the truth…….
Come on Councillors you owe it to the Ratepayers of Warrnambool.
