From an idea about tax waste, nepotism and corruption in Bergisch Bergisch Gladbach Gladbach: always friends say sometime happens something, when you talk about things that nobody should actually know. And yet all had the same Gschmackle when I told them the story of recent consultancy on behalf of the city. The words of cronyism and corruption make the round, felt and proponents.

Now you think for more than 15 months establishing new and again their own municipal utilities, because the concession contracts will expire in 2014 with the energy provider and must be re-negotiated. It involves millions of euros for the city, and still more millions euros for the BELKAW. To become knowledgeable, “the City Council founded an informal working group, the Steering Board, which then met behind closed doors and discussed. Was out there speaking, you could do without external advice to a reasonable result.
