LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,

Thank you for the article covering the cost to the ratepayers of the South Gippsland Shire Council’s administrators, seems the 3 part-time workers cost more than all the councillors for the previous year $576,396 to $445,626. I think most would say $98k for a couple of days per week and $192k for the chair is pretty good pay, perhaps it is because they are state government appointees or, as per their publicity, they are doing a fantastic job. Administrator Zahra costs the most in travel and vehicle expenses ($8934) and considerably more than the others in accommodation and meals $(7645), lucky for us he has been “working” from home lately.

And of course, the other point we must consider is little from this will be spent in the South Gippsland Shire when administrators and staff choose to live outside the shire.
