Today's Closed Council session hot potatoes will be the revelation that the Cairns Taipans are not doing financially well.
A financial report will be requested today, that will show the Taipans beefed up predictions when they sort to gain support of a $1m bank guarantee from Cairns Regional Council. However, it's not going to plan and they are way behind with income they expected. Put up your hand if you're surprised.
One long-haired blond Councillor said at the time, that although she didn't support it, would vote for the guarantee "if it keeps them going for a couple of years."
Also, the controversial Tennis Centre planned for North Cairns on the land adjoining Tobruk Swimming Pool, will also go back to a closed session today, seeking a "variation" to the original approval of $1.5m.
This is unfortunately all too common. A contract gets the stamp, then comes back a few weeks or months and asks for money money.
Another day in the halls of power.

The original council contribution for the centre was going to be $660000 how it is up to $3000000 and climbing is beyond my understanding TOOWOOM BA COUNCIL contributed $400000 for a similar centre .i wish my bank would give me money like the way the council hands it out! based on dreams.
