In January, council finance boss Willie Young told STV Aberdeen abandoning the project would force the city to “repay the developers over £100m in cancellation fees”.
However, it later emerged the sum referred to by the Labour councillor was actually potential profit which would be lost if the Marischal Square development was scrapped - not a cancellation penalty.
Aberdeen City Council's senior legal advisor warned councillors they could be breaking the law by sending a letter supporting an independence referendum "No" vote, an inquiry has heard.
If anything it's the Scottish government to blame. All the cash gets plowed into central belt and Aberdeen gets left in the dust. Aberdeen receives the lowest government funding of any city in Scotland.
Hahaha minestrone sockie !!!
Aberdeen is in the doldrums because of the Labour-led council picking fights with the Scottish government and not spending money where the people of Aberdeen want it spent.
7 councillors are in trouble for sending out No propaganda with the council tax bills.
