He says, “KCDC in-house lawyer Tim Power spent this afternoon at Wellington District Court just to hear the judge say that. Why? Is he acting for the false complainer now on ratepayers’ funding?”
Exactly what Mr Power does and why he is on the KCDC payroll is something quite a few people would like to know.
Indeed. While Councillor David Scott has not been able to do his job but the KCDC haven’t been able to find a reason not to pay him – so council have paid him over the past nine months more than most pensioners in the District earn in a year! The whole thing is a waste of ratepayers money. I wasn’t there when this alleged thing happened so I cannot comment on who is innocent or not – but I will comment on the waste of my money!
Might I suggest that the whole sick farce is precisely for that reason – to prevent Cllr. David Scott from doing his job?
A complete and utter farce and just another waste of ratepayers money !!
The above letter is absolute nonsense. Cr. Scott does not get paid as much as other councillors. I know for a fact that he has not claimed any expenses during his 10 years as a councillor, unlike some who have claimed every little thing, and are still carrying on even though they never stood at the last election. Instead of writing in under a pseudonym be honest and let us know who is capable of writing this rubbish. As for this trumped up charge, the voters know the truth. This has cost Cr. Scott over $17.000 so far, and no, the council have not paid a cent towards his defence, not have they given him any support.
