Well who do you think is going to pay the bill?

give it the people living on the lake it didn't cause me any problems

I think if the Kelowna taxpayers are going to be responsible for paying this 2,000,000 bill, an itemized accounting should be made public and easily accessible. That is a bill should show exactly where the money was spent and to whom. A complete accounting and why not. You think I have trust issues of all levels of government, you bet.

It doesn't really matter which level of Gov't foots the bill it's ultimately us who pays.

Exactly...that was kind of what I was getting at...

The company I work for was one of the companies doing the sand bag clean up. The money we got paid was not bad at all.

To give you a quick break down of money just through our company. We had 4 trucks and dump trailers and 4 crews of 5.

Each truck billed out at $800 a day for 8 hours
Each crew billed out at $2,400 a day for 8 hours if I remember correctly.

That works out $3,200 a day for trucking and $9,600 for 4 crews.

Grand total is
$12,800 a day.
Company pay to staff roughly $5,760 a day
Company profit $7,040 a day

These are rough numbers but not to fare off as I still have the trucking logs.

And also factor in tax, depreciation, capital repayments, etc.

yup and I don't think gsc was trying to say the company is making off like a bandit I just wanted to point out that its not really all profit at the end of the day

My intention was not to paint a rosie picture and like we all got rich. I was just posting the numbers.

Also the company only had one "company truck" working the other three where employee trucks mine was one of them.

Also yes there are a lot of other expenses as well like posted and yes the pay was good. I was just simply talking numbers though.

Govt caused the flood? I think you're confusing gov't and god.

Both start with G though.
