Red Hot
Friends and readers. While we shut down over the Xmas break we kept our postbag open. When Helen one of our associates opened up this morning our post bag was full.
The majority came from readers truly scunnered at what is going on locally. As you know we broke the story of how one local Community project is prepared to pay £60,000 a year in a salary,while complaining about funding cuts.
Well it appears this has raised the hairs on the backs of peoples necks with a good number of local readers extremely angry about this situation,and demanding an explanation.
Unfortunately Pilton Sucks has not got one and we remain puzzled that all this anger about local projects funding being cut results in one project offering a kings ransom in the shape of a salary.
Many are now rightly asking exactly what is the poverty industry in this community paying out in salaries,with a growing number asking ,how many local people are actually employed in these projects.
Pilton Sucks again does not have these figures but we are sure that it is a tiny amount,and as one reader pointed out probably part of the Labour cabal that we are told does not exist.
Pilton Sucks demands that all local projects open up their books to scrutiny and let us all see exactly where the money goes and to who.
We are as many others are angry that a local project can offer such a sum as a salary and if this is an example of monies going out in salaries then we demand an enquiry into how this can be allowed in stringent times,and we also demand to know how many local people are employed in these so called local projects.
The jobs for the boys culture which existed here must be brought to a halt and local people empowered to take over the running and managing of these projects,with salaries brought into line and into the real world.
Our poverty industry has grown in the past as has the poverty within this community,so what has gone wrong and who has benefited from this growth industry. Pilton Sucks demands answers and so do a growing number in this community who have woken up to what has been going on. Lets see the books comrades.
