That $584M pool requires a full investigation and explanation

Mar 17, 2012 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
It is truly amazing that in every sector of our society citizens are being taken for a ride, as money is squandered or pocketed with great abandonment. I give but just one of numerous examples.
We learnt yesterday that the Olympic-size swimming pool cost $584M. I have pointed out before that if the Government had only followed designs and construction methodology used in this country by a local architect and engineers at the Castellani Swimming Pool, the Olympic-size pool could have been constructed for less than a half of the cost.
As a reminder, Castellani pool was built using clay tiles fired locally from our own clay. All that the government needed to do was to follow what was done successfully many years ago, a pool which is still serviceable after nearly over three decades.
This waste is unnecessary, if not criminal, and requires a full investigation and explanation.
Hamilton Green, J.P.,
Mayor
