What’s even more shocking is that the Council are not even hiding how they spend our money. This must be corruption.

Upon further investigation, I’ve found some more ways in which they have been using our money:
- Quality public spaces
- Sewerage services
- Roads
- even the redecoration of the Civic Centre! and some substation maintenance! how dare they! ! and !

Oh my word it can’t be true!!!! I thought these things kind of just happened, I did not realise they actually had to SPEND money. So glad you uncovered this. However, I tend to agree with Helga – I think it might be a case of 1 for me 1 for you kind of thing.

Oh. My. Goodness!!! A council that actually spends the money on actual stuff that you can actually see ‘n touch ‘n feel??? That’s loads better than *my* council who appears to be saving up my money for big, golden, juicy pensions – THEIRS!!! (

I’m booking flights to CT so I can come and run in your green, green grass of home…

Po > My investigations so far in SA seem to show exactly that. I haven’t checked in the UK, but it can’t be as bad as here. Almost 100% of the money we are giving to the city council is spent.

So you are saying that councils tax us and then USE that money? I thought it went to my little tax haven in the sky, where I will slumber on clouds and run with the little bunny rabbits. .-= po´s last blog ..30 seconds =-.
