MORE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FROM SANDY - DO OVER NUMBERS 3 & 4

What a system. The Municipal Elections Act 1996 (MEA) sure talks tough but when push comes to shove it is a pushover. Mayor Shantz is officially a member of the gang who couldn't shoot straight. Her first attempt was dated February 2/15 and was pathetic. Her second botched attempt was dated March 23/15 and she ambushed me and possibly MECAC with it on JULY 2/15. Attempts three and four are both dated August 6/15 and were put on Woolwich Township's website late yesterday afternoon. These last two are courtesy of an Order from Superior Court. Either Sandy filed them by today or she would once again have been out of a job. Numbers 1, 3 and 4 are on the Township website under Municipal Election.

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery then indeed I am flattered by Sandy. Her second attempt while not quite as pathetic as her first nevertheless was still a stinker. I posted here on August 3/15 the still existing errors. Well good for her despite taking Financial Statement 2 (March 23/15) to both MECAC and Superior Court darn if she hasn't amended it dramatically. She has finally included most of her omissions both intentional and otherwise in these latest two efforts. I am seriously considering sending Sandy an Invoice for my assistance to her in getting her facts and numbers straight.

It's hard to believe but she seems unappreciative of my efforts. The following comment precedes both her most recent Financial Statements. "...I believe the public and those wishing to serve the public should have better protection from submissions that are bent more on creating havoc than protecting the public good.". This says the politician with 31 years bookeeping experience who is up to at least four Financial Statements so far because she doesn't understand what Contributions, Expenses and even Audits are. Further evidence of her bad attitude and living in fantasyland include her claim that "...I have elected to include...". "elected" my butkus! She's pretending that by now five months AFTER the March 27/15 deadline her inclusion of further legal and mandated expenses is somehow voluntary as if they really weren't mistakes. Oh Sandy you really are a very good politician in deflecting blame and guilt but a truly hopeless bookeeper and caretaker of your own finances much less those of Woolwich Township.

You know Sandy based upon your unappreciative and combative attitude I don't know why I should continue to help you out. I mean you've still got time if you want to embarass yourself further by filing Financial Statement-Auditor's Report number five. Here's a hint. Why did you include all your accounting/mickey mouse audit costs in your Supplementary Report (number four) instead of putting the June 16/15 audit costs with your number three Financial Statement? Secondly while you ramble on about your legal costs in your introductory letter you don't include them in either of Financial Statement three or four. Why not? Do you think that because they came out of your personal chequing account they magically aren't real election costs? Once again Woolwich Township have no appreciation for Woolwich volunteers' assistance.
