-------- Your tax dollars at work ---------
Question asked..... "On Franks boys School report it lists $37,748.00 consulting fees and $86,432.00 for professional services do you know who received this money? "
Reply..... These numbers are from the March 31, 2008 summary report and it did not provide details supporting the expenditures reported......
HOWEVER... in Mr. Anderson's September 30, 2007 Affidavit in Exhibit B his financial report did provide some details .... for these and related categories .... to that date.... at least its a start.
Professional Services
02/01/2007 McInnis Cooper $749.00
05/07/2007 Conestoga-Rover $$4,272.53
06/01/2007 McInnis Cooper $$2,877.23
06/27/2007 Nickerson Jacquard $4,933.51
07/05/2007 McInnis Cooper $3,752.02 (entry plus reversing)
07/05/2007 McInnis Cooper $1,823.28
07/06/2007 Consetoga-Rover $223.64
07/31/2007 McInnis Cooper $12,330.53 (entry plus reversing)
07/31/2007 Wheelans White $535.00
09/05/2007 McInnis Cooper $3,132.96
09/28/2007 McInnis Cooper $4,404.85
Total $22,657.75
Consultants & Marketing
05/04/2006 Vibe Marketing & Communication $12,631.26
03/12/2007 MacDonnell Group $13,829.74
I do not have the details for amounts reported at the end of March 2008 but suspect if your could review those accounts you would find that the bulk of the additional "Professional Fees" went to McInnis Cooper for legal fees to continue representing SWSDA, Frank Anderson, Ralston MacDonnell, Bowood and CVN Holdings (the folks who gave Ralston MacDonnell a Loan to purchase the Boys School).
SWSDA had to provide legal cover paid for by taxpayers out of the Boys School Fund for Bowood and MacDonnell because the sales and purchase agreement concluded by Mr. Anderson for the Boys School had a clause indicating SWSDA would do so if Bowood and/or MacDonnell were sued by OPI.
Hope this helps.......

It is no wonder the RCMP do not want to Audit SWSDA for cooking the books. It would be over their head, they would not where to start.
As I understand it the RCMP would investigate SWSDA if a SWSDA board member we to approach the RCMP and ask for the audit
This is bizarre and what is even more bizarre is the fact that neither our municipal or provincial governments have even acknowledged that there is something wrong with all this.
It's not so bizarre, when you consider the number of MLAs who have had a hand in assisting this CEO over the years. Considering Rodney is too busy throwing our tax dollar$ out the window these days, the last person he is going to criticize is the main culprit who has already bought his seat in this election, MLA Richard Hurlburt, Yarmouth.
There are just too many lawyers being billed in relation to the sale of a property. The property bring the old boys school. Even though it was sold for way way less than it was worth. A real fire sale price.
In real estate sales it is not legal for someone to sell or try to sell property for some one else. If the boy school was owned by Team Shelburne, SWSDA was acting like and agent, like a real estate agent. SWSDA was actually breaking the law. The Nova Scotia Real Estate Trading Act, avaiable on-line The sale was not legal
