Hi, Mississauga, we're back. Missed Tuesday's Budget meeting what with me being on The Rock and all.
Judging from Mississauga News' Joe Chin, I missed a good one. Seems Councillor Carolyn Parrish wants to fling open the Corporate iron-clad drapes and let some sun shine into the dark recesses of The Secret Society.
Imagine, suggesting Mississauga hire a "hired gun" to look into The Corporate Books. That call for a financial-ferret sure took long enough let me tell you --*woof* *woof* it's about way-over time.
So, since seeing is believing, allow me.
Video of the March 26, 2008 Budget Committee meeting where Councillor Parrish first raised the search-for-WASTE-issue. She suggested "fresh eyes" back in March but was poo-pooed (and yes, I meant that spelling) by Hazel McCallion.

And here's WHY it's important to get a financial/operations "inspector" in there. Councillors are simply unable to see for all the Snow "fragmented" by the Corporate Silos...

Hmmm... and wasn't this the same city whose mayor challenged Finance Minister, Jim Flaherty to come and inspect The Books and... (she surfs for the online MIssyNews... ah HAH!)
Hazel calls out the finance minister - The Mississauga News
"I challenge him to come out to Mississauga and show us where we are not efficient and have not set money aside," she (Hazel McCallion) told The Globe and Mail.
Seems Carolyn Parrish is now "calling out" Hazel McCallion and Mississauga's "Efficiency Cabal"....
Signed,

If the silo walls get too thin we’ll only find an endless loop of the same Peel Employment Services Group & Company duplicating all the same James Gollert $470,000 CET severance packages for what was choreographed and retained under the Carol Undrel report in December 6 2004 .
When the concealment of our FOI extenuates far beyond where “Project School Boards” are thrown out because witnesses were being evacuated at an alarming rate of $66 million a years since 1997, what’s being replaced by Waterfront and Southside’s Shuffles just keeps hitting the Titanic Iceberg that sank the rest of our ships.
