So the Undercliff fishing trip - set up to catch dreadful sharks - yesterday succeeded in catching a couple of sprats, one of which still managed to bite them back.
The report on the Chief Financial Officer by an Independent Person - not one being paid £700k to string out an investigation - found that he was guilty of just one of the three charges against him in that he had made a 'serious error of judgment' for which he should receive a written warning and return to work.
However, the members of the Committee - 4 Tories (Anne Bishop was kicked off), LibDem David Knowles, and 'independent' Muriel Miller - did not accept this report as they did not want him back at work. AND THERE WILL NOT BE A MINORITY REPORT............
So 6 months after it could probably have been arranged they agreed to release his pension a couple of years early. Spitefully they then decided to release all of the personal details to the media. Unprecedented. Bad losers !
Additionally another of the seven suspended officers was allowed to resign without any payoff as he is deemed - by their own medical adviser - to be too ill to face their disciplinary charges.
Sadly the fishing trip will now get increasingly desperate.
Two asides:
1. If the Undercliff contract (that is the root of all this) was illegally let, isn't it still illegal as it has not been terminated ? Shouldn't someone be disciplined ??????
2. Only just learnt that the lead man for the increasingly successful advising Solicitors was a leader of Tory Bucks County Council in the early part of this decade.............
