Dne 21.10 jsem se krátce sešel s vedoucí právního oddělení MěÚ Blansko JUDr. Mikuláškovou na téma "Náplň práce Výboru pro energetiku". Z mého pohledu předsedy tohoto výboru dochází k porušování této směrnice některými zaměstnanci úřadu, zejména odd. INV.
Na tento problém jsem upozornil na včerejším jednání zastupitelstva, že další případy budu již řešit přes Kontrolní výbor, případně jinými kroky, např. stížnost na MV.
