Some call it foot in mouth syndrome, he's come up with a few gems in the past too.
Lou Lou is one of those in government who have long been rumored to have business interests in bus licenses, also being the person who dishes them out. What was originally planned as a system where individuals could make a living running a bus has turned into a lucrative earner where the owners of the licenses collect a rent from a ghost driver, an entitlement which was really to help drivers that may be sick or otherwise unable to work. These licenses are for sale and provide the owner a nice sum without having to ever drive a bus.
I noticed something a few weeks or maybe a month or so ago, about bus drivers/license owners (?) having to go and re register themselves, there was announcements in the papers asking those with certain numbers or letters to present themselves at an office and re-register themselves. I can't find any clippings though, can anyone else remember the details?
Never been good with words
