Between Flights at Heathrow Airport

-------- Your tax dollars at work ---------

Must Have Been a Long Dry Flight!

Amongst the receipts included in the SWSDA CEO's expenses is a receipt from the Terminal 2 Tavern at Heathrow Airport. Looks like between flights on June 16, 2005 at 9:00 A.M. in the morning folks wet their whistle as soon as they got to jolly old England.... cost to taxpayers in Shelburne, Yarmouth and Clare...... $277.45 US in 2005

Wonder who else embibed at this early hour?

Considering how few comments that are getting posted on this blog, it seems like people have given up. It seems like there is nothing anyone can do. The RCMP are not willing to audit SWSDA's books. The auditor general has not done an audit of SWSDA, even after 2 calls for an audit. Calls from elected mla, along with 500 signatures. There could be more good jobs around here if only we had a hard working development authority. We could have more doctors. We could have a hospital that was open more often. There could be a post on this blog from a SWSDA board member explaining why SWSDA is so secretive.

Why would any of this surprise me... especially coming from a man who wears a toupee...really ...in this day and age.
What amazes me is that no one can get rid of him,with all these questionable dealings,one wonders how many political buddies he has in his pockets...along with tax payers money !!

Seems to me he may be associated with the same bunch that wouldn't touch the swamp people who were defrauding the public.
Guess fraud means nothing in todays society.
But I know one thing , what goes around comes around and one of these days Mr. Anderson will find himself in a pickle just like the swamp sellers.

In response to the previous comment, it does seem strange that the board members are not expressing their views on this issue. It appears they feel confident they are covered by the municipality's liability insurance Louise Halliday was checking on a month ago. Their silence on the matter makes them look as culpable as Frank. I'll remember this when casting my next municipal vote! Only with a change in this provincial election will the books be given a thorough audit and the seamy bookkeeping be revealed.

About previous comment, Frank plays them like a violin, he thinks they stupid and he thinks we are stupid. But those people on the board do have a legal obligation once they are informed of wrong doing, they can't just continue to sit there and continue to approve these shadey deals.

''how many political buddies he has in his pockets?''

The SWSDA office is on Water Street Yarmouth, last week I saw a big sign on the front of it,
Constituency Office of Federal MP Greg Kerr.

I wonder what he was doing in London?

Was it a business trip?

Why are most people profiling Anonymous?

Are we scared about somebody being vindictive about our comments?

We are in the throes of an election. Why for somehow use this as an opportunity to get some MLA answers. What better time!

I'm profiling Anonymous because the majority of posters are doing the same. I'll show you mine if... LOL
I'm also afraid a big black car will arrive in my driveway, and men in black suits will drag me off to foggy Yarmouth, and hold me until the 10th of June. Get all your buddies out to vote this time, and use your brains on this one! What matters more to you; straightening this mess of an RDA up, or more of the same old? Then the next election, you can vote any old way you want, because Shelburne Co. will be standing tall by then.
Darn, this coffee is potent.
