The Recovery Board in their long awaited, (some may say hidden until forced) January report say:<br /><br />" The Board should be supported by staff, external to the authority, who will identify issues for discussion and provide evidence to be used in reviewing and challenging decisions. There may be some financial provision in the Council's own budget for training and corporate renewal."<br /><br />"The Board and the Council (with the involvement of the Electoral Commission and the main political parties as appropriate) should develop a clear strategy and set of actions to support democratic renewal."<br /><br />"An end date should be agreed with David Bowles and search for a new interim chief executive should begin now. The power to appoint a chief executive should remain with the Minister, and consideration should be given to withdrawing th power also to appoint statutory officers. This would enhance the seriousness of the intervention."<br /><br />"Better and more dedicated support should be provided in council and committee meetings to ensure adherence to procedure and guarantee that all members are fairly heard".<br /><br />"If this approach does not succeed over a six month period the natural next stage would be the formal withdrawal of executive functions from the Council".<br /><br />Following that report in January and the intervention of IWJ and Albert Owen to help a power struggle against the incumbent Leader and his Executive, Carl Sargeant decided to take no notice of the Recovery Boards Recommendation and sent the commissioner in instead?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-64580667449877997082011-04-02T18:27:15.375+01:002011-04-02T18:27:15.375+01:00In my school, I was proud to compete at sports day...In my school, I was proud to compete at sports day and winning was a bonus.<br /><br />The five appointed commissioners appear to have the credentials for "also rans" who won prizes for just taking part....apart from Byron Davies.<br /><br />The stench of political thank you's is disgraceful and apart from Byron Davies ( who at least has a decent track record) don't expect more from the other four; they are just spies for Carl Sargeant and Ieuan Wyn Jones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-29443710886767629792011-04-02T11:46:11.726+01:002011-04-02T11:46:11.726+01:00Carl Sargeant should appoint a corruption Czar to ...Carl Sargeant should appoint a corruption Czar to sort them out.<br /><br />Blame is always apportioned to Councillors, when in fact they have very influence on the day to day running of the Council. <br /><br />Heads of Department and Senior Officers should also accept responsibility and made accountable for their actions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-56202303626333923292011-04-02T11:45:17.271+01:002011-04-02T11:45:17.271+01:00Wrt Big Accountants and Big Banksters: have a read...Wrt Big Accountants and Big Banksters: have a read of <br />http://golemxiv-credo.blogspot.com/2011/04/free-market-and-globalization.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-4913083209690023052011-04-02T11:28:23.340+01:002011-04-02T11:28:23.340+01:00"Haven't we learnt anything over the last..."Haven't we learnt anything over the last fifteen year?"<br /><br />I think the main lesson is that whoever you vote for, in the UK the management consultants and beancounters (generic term for economists AND accountants) always get in, and whilst their ideas may be good for other consultants and beancounters, they are rarely good for ordinary honest working (retired, whatever) folk.<br /><br />First against the wall when the revolution comes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-44316935654503391242011-04-02T10:28:48.324+01:002011-04-02T10:28:48.324+01:00Lets not lose site of who it was among others who ...Lets not lose site of who it was among others who created the straw that broke Carl Sargeant's back.<br /><br />Earlier this year our Plaid AM IWJ and the Labour MP, Albert Owen, both involved themselves in encouraging a number of Councillors to mount a power struggle to get rid of Clive McGregor.<br /><br />As Clive McGregor had shown himself to be discredited as a Leader, one would say nothing wrong in that.
