Remember when Len ordered the Palace Hotel to be demolished in a fit of post election ejaculation? When he wouldn't let the owners have their own engineers assess the site, when he took no counsel of what if any parts of the old Auckland landmark might be saved - when he ordered the old building to be torn down despite the city being host to many engineers capable of constructing a temporary stabilisation of the building, when, he Mayor Len, a lawyer - did not advise the owners that they could seek an temporary injunction to stop the lowering of the building. Remember him, old comb-over Lenny, robed-up and all goofy looking?
Well his council said there was evidence to prosecute the owners of the building, asking the world to believe, that there was some benefit for the owners to tear their own building down - even if the revved and useless council were going to do it anyway cause old Len wanted to make dust - it was closest he'd ever get to the OK corral come high noon. Now, months later, when the dust has settled, and Mayor Lenny has restrained himself from getting a hair transplant - the truth comes out. There is no evidence to prosecute the owners of the Palace Hotel, none zilch. No comment though if there is any evidence to prosecute the building compliance and inspection officers of the council, no no no. Mums the word on that one.
I wonder if where now might see a suit against Mayor Len and his council from the Chow brothers and a salutary lesson to the Auckland Council at least not to panic and become gungho just cause the wind is blowing wind blown dust and dirt. Oh Lenny boy.
