Planning Corruption

It is admirable for a city councillor to come forward and denounce corruption in the planning approval process.

Unfortunately his timing is disastrous - at the end of his elected term, when he knows that his party is not putting him forward for re-election. What is a serious matter appears more an opportunity for petty revenge.

Everybody knows the planning process is frequently corrupt. He should have resigned mid-term and taken evidence with him for the Public Prosecutor.

At least the Prosecutor is taking the matter seriously and has called him to make a statement.
