Unrelenting Pace for SWSDA CEO

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

Here's another example of the terrible conditions under which Mr. Anderson has to work.

On June 9, 2005 Mr. Anderson was back at the Triangle Ale House ... AGAIN.......

I mean the poor guy had already billed SWSDA (and local taxpayers) for breakfast, lunch and dinner and here he was again, forced to spend more time that same day in the Triangle Ale House where he reportedly paid Debbie $58.13 plus a $12.00 tip (total $70.13 at nearly 8:00 PM) for the time spent there..... (Its amongst his expense receipts as additional to his per diem charge for meals.)

Wonder if the poor fella had to have dinner twice, endure some of the liquid sustenance of the Ale House .... again ..... or was he just there to meet with someone with a business opportunity for our nine municipalities.... Either way.... being a development specialist is not easy .... is it?!?

Indeed ... some would argue Mr. Anderson earns every penny we or anyone else pays him..... Maybe we could make it easier for him and arrange for the Province to provide him with meeting rooms for these business meetings when he is in Halifax.... It would save him from these obligations to meet in bars and restaurants... not to mention the savings to taxpayers.

THEN AGAIN....

In Yarmouth where taxpayers have just finished building a big new set of office facilities for our RDA, Mr. Anderson appears to be forced to regularly embibe and dine out at local restaurants on a regular basis to conduct the affairs of the SWSDA! There just doesn't seem to be any easy answers for poor Mr. Anderson...... (;-(

If this is a sample of Frank's expenses during that fiscal year, you can imagine what Hurlburt's total for the year was. The swine (being polite) feeding on the taxpayer's dollar$ is done with so much ease, it must be considered an entitlement to them.

Remember all of this "pork" folks when you cast your ballot June 9th!

One SWSDA staff member, when questioned about SWSDA being a public body, responded to the effect - if it's a public body they'd better increase our salaries. I wonder who he/she had heard that from? Poor Frank must feel he is being underpaid for all the new industry he has secured for the Shelbure County area. LOL!

Is Shelburne's Mayor...hide from public view....Delaney overly cozy with the Teflon Don?

Why haven't I seen anything about this in The Coast Guard, or Chronically Horrid, or even Frank Magazine?

Frank mag reporters refer to the PCs as Tory Pig Dogs, so Hurlburt isn't loved by them. How would Frank Anderson control the media, or is Shelburne not considered newsworthy? That's all I can contribute - questions, questions, and more questions.

What a great blogspot for either Sterling or Darian to give the electorate more information. Sorry Eddie, it's not you, it's your leader who caused this "c"onservative to rebel this time around.

Maybe if the Libs or NDP were more forthcoming on SWSDA they would get more folks out to vote. Considering how close the race was last time around, I find the silence in this riding deafening! We can only assume Darian has lots of information to spill...

Step up to the plate fellows, and give us a chance to bat the PCs out of the park! I see a home run for the man who is the most transparent and honest.

I wonder if Canada Revenue Agency has been contacted to audit SWSDA expense accounts? They have a unit that travels around doing this sort of thing and they are relentless. It sounds like none of Anderson's poorly-documented claims would be accepted. He could owe a significant amount of money once they reach a judgment on how many of these are personal benefits and not legitimate expenses.

It's unfortunate that Rodney wasn't forceful enough to keep Hurlburt and his cronies in line. But folks, for god's sake, don't vote for the NDP! The people in their backrooms are crazy.

I often hear tht saying, "It's time to pay the fiddler" I say it's time to pay the fiddler off!
But can anyone seriously say that they understand NDP doctrine and still vote for them? While our Municipal leaders have sat on their hands and allowed our entitlement to be fiddled away by the RDA can anyone reasonably vote for any of the Municipal turned Provincial Candidates. Just because yo' granpappy voted for that bunch dont mean you have to . THINK. We desperatly need an INDEPENDANT candiate.
