Latham on Liverpool Council ....... ps form your own opinion but look at the facts first.

"My capital works program was fully funded-for with efficiency gains. Council subsequently took the foot off the pedal on efficiency gains.

"When I left the council in the middle of '94 the Budget was in good shape. So much so that council subsequently went out and purchased multimillion-dollar property assets and undertook multimillion-dollar projects that had to be budgeted for."
