The Hammer drops

Never mind the shoe drop, this is much more like a hammer.

From the November 6th Press release:

November 6, 2008
City issues statement re: financing of Olympic Village
The financial and schedule risks assumed by the City with respect to the Olympic Village remain unchanged. The City is conducting business related to Southeast False Creek and the Olympic Village pursuant to a unanimous Council mandate.

From Former Mayor Sam Sullivan Open Letter

As Mayor, it is my duty to reinforce a number of facts. First, the Olympic Village will be delivered on time next year. Second, our city staff has been acting in the best interests of taxpayers

So, Judy Rogers walked away from all this with what we can all assume was a very hefty severance. Several Council members who were involved in this fiasco are still part of the current Council. The City is still paying Richard Peck an undisclosed sum at I am sure fairly hefty hourly rates to "investigate". No one has said how it is that Estelle Lo was "resigned" without Council knowing about it. Its fairly evident that as Director of Finance she had serious concerns about this whole fiasco.

No accountability whatsoever.
