How
can anyone think that a having new Municipal Auditor General (MAG), imposed on
municipalities by the provincial government, will be anything more than a way
to deflect from the BC Liberal governments own poor management of taxpayer
resources???
Kamloops
city councilor John DeCicco was quoted in a Kamloops Daily News story saying, "It's going to be given to us whether we like
it or not. The resolution is to disagree, but for the UBCM executive to work
with the province on it ... concerns we had ... costs for small municipalities
... shouldn't be a burden."
He
also indicated another big sticking point with the whole concept and idea; the related costs for this new position, and the costs to do the audits.
"Who's going to pay for it? It starts from
the province, but it goes down to you and I”
