money matters

摘要

On many occasions I've stated that I would never want to issue a Section 114 notice. I always thought if it got to the stage of calling a halt to spending, I would have tailed in my responsibilities. But, given the financial volatility local government faces, what would be the nature of that failure? I can't control the number of children which need to be looked after by the authority. Can I really influence the number of people with learning disabilities; physical disabilities, or those who are just getting old and need support? Would 1 be as ineffective as King Canute in telling the sea not to break on the shore? Some say it was arrogance that led Canute to the sea that day with the purpose of showing his power. Others suggest his quest was to demonstrate he had no power.
