the Music school will bring new energy to the city.
Wow, get down to the Arts centre to have fun and eat up, and all of a sudden,
academia attack:
Music hall riots over Mendelssohn's Sympnonie no.1 in C minor.
Bob tells us that the Music Hall
[ which in plan is obscenely indifferent to the surrounding architecture]
is among the initiatives which will
quote
"start to reverse the draining of our city into the suburbs"
like How?
Who is going to come to the academic conservatorium boring except Rod Carr and
Bob and Jo and some poor students
who have to rush there from Ilam between lectures.
And Bob states that although the lease costs to the university will be
substantially
"lower then market rates" the whole thing will still be
"cash flow neutral and have no impact on rates"
You are telling us Bob that you can give away money to the University
and it will not cost ratepayers:
But it will punters it will, of course it will.
Bob is a fiscally facile feudal lord, and I voted for him.
Who believes you Bob?. Your Council, and Rod Carr.
Don't you just love this Tuamspeak term "cash flow neutral"
means like you'll never get to see the books.
Well, the same claptrap in almost the exact words they gave to us to explain
how the new Hereford palace
would cost $60 million plus a few odds and ends
[ like the lease payments of $16 million per year to the $150 million
capitalisation of Ngai Tahu share ]
think $200 million dollars Citizens.
quote
"Under the proposal the Council would, through one of its many Companies,
enter into a long term lease agreement with the university ..
ensuring the lease repayments recover all costs.
"
Try to get hold of the accounts for the Hereford palace and see how you get on.
One thing if anything we know about Bob Parker and this Council is that they
are racking up over a quarter of a billion dollars
of costs for future ratepayers.
Well its hard to know if Bob writes these 'Christchurch Star' articles
himself, but I doubt it:
the constant repetition of "Tuam speak' reads like he just signs of the
propaganda sheet.
And more and more Bob seems his own victim of his visions and that propaganda
support, which I call Bobbledy gook.
