And rightly so. It is completely unfair that individuals from Trams Initiative Edinburgh should be trousering sums in excess of £80k while other failures in the public sector go unrewarded.
How about the civil servants who were involved in the Scottish Parliament building project and who oversaw the budget rising from £50 million to £414m?
