Just stick in on Len’s credit card

I was unimpressed with Auckland City Council’s decision to commission a history of the city as their parting legacy. I am even more unimpressed with Manukau City plans for spending $85,000 on a 10 day farewell party. At least he other expenditure will produce a book at the end of it!

Even worse:

News of the planned $85,000 blow-out follows revelations this week that about $50,000 was spent to send four executives – who have not been offered positions in the Super City – to a leadership seminar at a luxury resort in Queenstown last month.

Words fail me.
