Eddie strongly criticises the handling of the Windsor sewer issue, which ballooned into a $40 million debacle. He argues that if real business professionals had been in charge of the council, the problem could have been resolved early on for a fraction of the cost, avoiding unnecessary complications. Now, due to this mismanagement, residents are likely to face even higher rates to cover the escalating expenses, further burdening the community.

Cr Dogramaci has a record of pursuing money wasted by Council and has been dogged in his pursuit of a number of high costing issues led by the $35 million plus bill for the repair of the sewer.

He was also censured for comments in election leaflets he distributed that “adversely” affect the reputation of Council and that suggest Council has mismanaged their response in relation to a sewer leak (Rising Main C) and withheld information from him in relation to Rising Main C.”
