While the ratepayers have been continually stiffed in recent times with gargantuan rises each year, followed by continuous complaints, I could be sure that some councils might have taken onboard that spurious expenses might be curtailed. Even discussed fully as to what other services might be cut to fund new excursions into the realms of dreamland.
Not so with this council, it wants to spend, for starters, $35 million of your money on a footbridge! You have got to be joking! How many pedestrian crossings would that take to pay back over its life span to justify it? In this enlightened age of the supposed benefits of exercise, the alternative route around the basin it will cross, maybe 1.5Km tops, may actually have some health benefit to pedestrians!
Get real, stop looking for a plaque with your name on it and stop wasting my taxes!

Great Blog PM. I have given you a massive pump on my blog. Lucky for you my readership has averaged 3 hits a month this year so get ready to be swamped with visitors.
Interesting comment about the 'brass plaque'.
One of the water supplies I maintain is kilometers out in the bush, the only access is 4wd through private property and the owner and workers of this farm look like they are the cast from 'Deliverance'
On the side of the dam is a big brass plaque with a host of names on it.
Due to the ravine at the side, you either need binoculars or have to hang upside down from the structure to read it.
