If these allegations are proven to be true and an accurate account of what the Senator is alleged to have committed then the Senator should not only resign from housing but from the States of Jersey as well.
This whole affair reminds me of a similar allegation against ex-Senator Walker over the Trinity Infill Site. This type of activity sends the message out to the world that our government is unaccountable and still favours the “old boys club”.
It’s not what you know…… it’s who you know that counts.
This is unacceptable and must be brought to account.

What else can we expect from a Govt that operates in secrecy, uses the tax payers quids to fight a Freedom of information law…and is doing deals behind closed doors all the while…how many wealthy have threatened to spit the dummy out and then been granted tax concessions by the people at the helm…without proper reform the 3M’s will remain.. Methodists, Masons, and  Mandelesonites…time for a total reform and an accountable and transparent system…just look at David Laws…a very bright and able guy…now out of office and a loss to the Condems…why….secrecy…would not be open and honest…yet if our school teachers taught and advocated lieing and deception to our kids we would want them lynched…so there you have it the double standard….in the single entendre..we need reform now with all the urgency that the U.S.oil leak needs capping. let us not shrink from the challenge and get these blighters bought to heel.

I feel the above authors have some relevant points.

I really like the word Mandelesonites and in the same theme lets add Cambleites, of course Jersey has to follow best UK practice, so we have, costing £300,000 per year plus offices and pensions our own spin doctors.

Very recently : In a statement Terry Le Main he denies "having a long term friendship with Mr Venton and says he's written to the Crown Advocate, who made the claims, asking for evidence to that effect. "I am denying completely that I have or had a long term friendship with Mr Venton....like many thousands of Jersey people whom I know by face or name, I know Mr Venton as he used to work in the States Greffe and with the CI Lottery when I was President of Gambling Control....I have written to the Crown Advocate asking him to give me the evidence of his claims...of course media reporting is not always correct...so I await his response.

Today :   It  emerged that non-friend developer Frank Venton has ‘sponsored’ Terry's election campaigns since 1978.
As they say there is no such thing as a FREE LUNCH and Venton simply called in favours when he had a "little problem" with the housing law

Only the tip of a large iceberg and Terry, not being the brightest spark, thought he was invincible and was found out. Many are not and will continue their corrupt way

CROOKS !

This just proves how thick Terry is, he challenged them to find the evidence so they did. Time for another by-election methinks.

I think this sort of stuff goes on all the time Jersey but usually stays hidden. So I wonder why our elite "club" let this one out of the bag.  Did Terry stand in someone's way to make a fat profit somewhere and so became a fall guy ? Has he been standing in other developers way ?
Will be eager to hear who will replace him as housing minister and what connections he / she has with our large "ruling" developers. Will he / she have many "friends" or none at all  ?
There is more to this than meet the eye ( as always here in our whiter than white island )

Found out a little history about Mr Venton. Maybe ask the residents if he treats them fairly?

http://www.thisisjersey.com/2008/06/04/driven-to-the-last-resort-by-developers-lack-of-progress/

Also I got a list of some of Mr Venton's clients, and while Housing clearly isn't on there, an awful lot of states departments are and make up nearly half of his "Major" clients.

Major Client List
Dandara Development
Employment and Social Security
JET Telecom
Highlands College
Jersey Airport
Jersey Electricity
Fort Regent Leisure Centre
Sport, Leisure & Recreation
States of Jersey Department of Health
States of Jersey Education Department
States of Jersey Health Promotion Unit
States of Jersey Public Services Department

Hum.... Mr Venton seems to be an interesting chap. Perhaps Terry isn't his only longstanding States friend. Can of worms comes to mind

[Dundee]

I understand Mr Venton previously worked at the States Greffe and so would have been well in the loop with all the powers that be.

[Fritz]

I wonder why Mr Van Neste spoke so highly of El-Tel?

Couldn,t possibly have anything to do with the fact that he had major works done to his own property by another of his ,"Non Friends".

Could it

[Dylan]

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes.

A high-powered mutant of some kind, never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and
too rare to die. A living iconoclast, now withering on his own vine, dull sensed and replete with extraordinary ordinariness!

This Arcane complexity of Venality, escaping from the roi-feanant leadership of the otiose has resigned in a fit of the vapours.

Sui-generis (the only example of its kind) but as unavoidable as a cockroach in a kitchen.

Parian transparencey springs to mind.

RIP Terry.

Senator Le Main stands in number 2 district as predicted a year ago

He lives in St. Clement, and is standing in St. Helier?

Ted Vibert lived in Australia for most of his working life and is standing

I dont understand why anyone would stand for deputy in a parish they dont live in. I really dont see the point unless it gives you an advantage over ensuring things dont happen in the parish you live in but happen in the parish you dont. Land development and rezoning spring to mind but I admit I am being extremely cynical.

[boatyboy]

Part of a published letter by  Deputy Shona Pitman which said,

A further question must be as to why Senator Terry Le Main felt the need to make comment about this? Surely, this couldn’t have anything to do with the Senator standing in my St Helier district, for Deputy.

Why then, I would also ask, does this trivial email, get full-page coverage when my complaint about Senator Le Main having to be reprimanded for his loud snoring during the reduction of Senatorial seats debate was not covered at all?

Why too was it not ever reported when Senator Le Main was required by the Bailiff to withdraw his false accusation that Deputy Southern and I had committed ‘electoral fraud’ when, of course, all our ‘crime’ had actually been was to help a number of disabled and elderly constituents to fill out a registration form to request they could receive a postal vote?

Le Main gets away with it just like when he forged a signature years ago. You also must remember he has friends ( he says they are not ) in the development area who know all the establishment members. You cannot kill the goose who has laid the gold egg for some people. I believe he will not get in this time, the people have seen through him i think. I mean even the establishment member have deserted him by taking away his ministership.
