If you wonder why rates are high you should start looking at waste and inefficiency. I have previously mentioned that there are 89 active credit cards amongst council employees and the average monthly bill is aobut $56,000.
But what about inefficient work practices at all levels in council? While campaigning I heard so many stories of poor work practices and expensive equipment being grossly under-utilised. Just as an example consider this. A piece of footpath about 4 metres long has to be replaced. First we have a front end loader and a laarge truck to remove the damaged concrete. Next day we have 3 council vehicles and 5 employees to box up the section, place the reinforcing and then float off the concrete. Does that seem a bit excessive to you?
