Forum –
Blaming Councillors for the financial problems of the Central Coast is not the solution to the problems and is being used as a political football.
In any normal corporation those responsible are the directors, yet we hear nothing about them, and I suspect few ratepayers could even name them.
It is appropriate for the CEO to step aside as the directors are responsible to him, but it is them, the directors, who bear the major part of the fiasco.
If the councillors are dismissed and another administrator is appointed what is to say that the same thing does not happen as it did before.
A large part of the present problem dates back to that time when instead of dealing with the inherent problem with directors and senior staff he left them in place.
The current councillors could be left in place, the current directors sacked and then if the new directors do not perform, we can indeed put the blame where it lies and then that would be the councillors.
