THE public, and more particularly Newcastle ratepayers and targets of the Scott Neylon letters, are being asked to accept at face value the conclusion that City of Newcastle's investigation into its CEO Jeremy Bath was well founded and justifiable.
Carried out by external consultant Pinnacle Integrity, the code of conduct investigation found there was "insufficient evidence" that Mr Bath was involved in a misleading letter-writing campaign under his best mate Scott Neylon's name, or that he passed confidential information to his friend of 25 years, who has lived in Japan for decades.
