Curious silence

I FIND it disappointing that I have had no reply from Toodyay Shire Cr Mick McKeown to fully explain why he opposed this year’s shire budget which was passed 6-1 at a Special Council Meeting on August 28.

This is despite two follow up emails to him after my letter raising those questions was published in last month’s Herald.

I also find it curious that Cr McKeown has not done me the courtesy of explaining why he did not reply.

I had to read last month’s Herald to discover that he is citing a risk of causing reputational damage to the Local Government.

By not responding to a member of his constituency about valid questions he seems to be causing such damage regardless.
