I am beginning to wonder just what it is that Launceston City Council’s Aldermen will actually take responsibility for.
Today we have an architect telling us that one of the city’s iconic buildings is being defaced by an inappropriate air conditioning installation and then along comes the Mayor duck shoving the responsibility for it to the General Manager.
It seems that this sort of thing falls under the control of the General Manger, you know the very same person who denied Launceston its New Year’s celebration.
The General Manger did not have, or was it would not have, anything to say about the museum’s defacement, and the Mayor, it seems that he dare not say anything.
Who represents Launceston’s ratepayers? It seems that the Mayor thought that a street celebration for New Year was not such a bad idea but the General Manger said no despite everything.
Now the General Manager is saying nothing about this piece of multi million dollar museum refurbishment because it seems that he doesn’t have to. That is because he is not elected and is therefore unaccountable to ratepayers, nor would it seem that he is accountable to the city’s Alderman either.
When will this abomination be dealt with? In fact, who will deal with it?
It is just not good enough Mr Mayor.

There is a lot of this "trust me I'm from the government" stuff going on at Town Hall. I wonder when someone will explain why we might take our lives in our hands and do that.
