Spending Public Money
I received my postal ballot voting pack today - for the elections to the Scottish Parliament and the referendum on AV.
Trouble is that the the voting slip for the Scottish Parliament elections - was not included in the pack.
And on checking with Glasgow City Council - which is responsible for sending the packs out - the Scottish Parliament voting slip is being sent out tomorrow - in a separate mailing.
Now why the council should be sending out two separate mail shots when only one would do - is a mystery.
The person at the other end of the phone could not explain the reason.
Is it just madness, a job creation exercise - or yet another example of a council spending public money - as if there was no tomorrow?
Who knows, but if I find out - I'll let you know.
