Niagara at Large lamented
that “There Is No Fiscal
Time Bomb in the Town of Pelham … Not Even
A Firecracker!”
Well
isn’t that just marvelous!
The
Town of Pelham Citizens, the Citizens of Niagara and the wasted time and effort
of the Niagara Regional Government reacting to nothing more than a disturbing situation
created by unnecessary secrecy!
What
did come out of another special
meeting of council was the revelation that some people $gained
enormously through convoluted financial arrangements.
What
didn’t come out was exactly who gained financially, the effects of inordinate
spending, spending ramification on property taxes and why if the treasurer is
so happy with the situation did she call for an outside KPMG audit?
Since
KPMG is capable of somewhat clarifying the disquieting financial situation
surrounding the convoluted purchases of property in a mere 50 minutes, surely
the Mayor, the Councilors, the Treasurer and all of the Pelham staff could have
answered alarmed Citizen’s and concerned
Regional Councilors questions in less than an astonishing matter of weeks,
months and even years!
Contrary
to Pelham’s CAO many suspect KPMG did not conduct a full forensic audit which
would have “accounted for exactly who received every dime”.
