Yesterday I saw an election billboard put up by Angela Oleary who is standing for Mayor in the upcoming council elections.
It has a statement on it "No more dodgy deals".
What are these "Dodgy Deals" she is referring to?
Why is she bringing this up now? She has been on the council since forever and hasn't bought the matter to anyone's attention before that I have seen.
If "Dodgy deals" were being done in the past then, as a Councillor, it was her place to make people aware of them or she is complicit in those "Dodgy deals".
Doesn't say much for what she would be like as our Mayor does it?
