Board: Wty Board and Five-Figure Sum

board: The WTY board insists a criminal investigation is unnecessary despite Verity having paid back a five-figure sum on his abrupt departure, according to The Guardian. But one Yorkshire council leader is demanding evidence of why the organisation's board was so sure no laws had been broken. More than half of Welcome to Yorkshire's WTY income derived from the taxpayer between 2013 and 2018 but the organisation will not answer detailed questions about how that money was spent by its boss, Sir Gary Verity, who resigned last Friday. I want to know what the context is for the false claims . Our council has prosecuted staff for making false expense claims for much smaller sums than we are dealing with here, said Tim Swift, the leader of Calderdale council. Asked if it was too high, Swift said Yes. He said he had been shocked to learn Verity was paid a 243,000 salary. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
