sure thing

Bathroom final numbers are still not available, even tho the Certificate of Occupancy was issued over a week ago. The bathrooms have taken OVER TWO YEARS to complete so its probably not fair to expect the final numbers for another six months or so, taking into consideration the state of disarray and disorganization that exists in the Finance Dept. They have already admitted to $414,000 as of six months ago, so by the time they are finished massaging the numbers to minimize the incredibly wasteful final figures, we MAY have those final sums by Xmas. Will that meet the FOI requirements for timely disclosure? The over/under is $500,000. Take the over, its a lock. The buck stops where? Who is responsible for overseeing this, yet another, costly and wasteful (to the taxpayers) disaster? Gymbo and his Rubber-Stamp Band! They have NEVER met a City construction project whose costs they couldnt TRIPLE, at least! and 300%, 400$ and greater cost overruns are NOT beyond their capabilities either! How do they do it??? Could it be Black Magic? Or just their own special brand of a municipal Black Hole? Money goes in by the truckload and is NEVER seen again. It just disappears, truckloads at a time. OUR money. OUR tax money. While celestial scientists still dont know what causes galactic Black Holes, no oversight, constant cost overruns and change orders cause municipal Black Holes, like we have at City Hall. They gotta go.
