Something still smells within Toowoomba City Council ...

The outgoing Mayor has convened a special meeting of the Council to approve the upgrade of Wetalla to provide recycled water to New Acland Coal mine.

See - Outgoing Mayor convenes special meeting to approve recycled water project.

Less than three weeks before the election.

Less than three weeks before she leaves Toowoomba forever.

Remember this was the urgent project that needed quick approval because of such unforeseen events as Christmas and the 2008 election.

Now there's a mad rush to lock up an approval before the election.

Part of some desperate legacy search by the outgoing Mayor.

It will be interesting to see how Crs Ramia, Alroe, Englart and Schneider vote on Tuesday ...

Yes, they all caved in again. They could only see dollar signs. They do not even have the good manners to let the new Regional Council decide. Cr. Manners was strongly supported by Cr. Beer in a motion to defer the decision for three weeks to let the new Council decide on this $15 million project but Cr Barron also caved in so once again the Council has been found wanting.
