Dear scrutineer, here is a little scrutiny geek’s quiz for you and your team. You can find this quiz and the answers on my website here. Enjoy! 1.

In 2018, who said in a Best Value inspection report: “In Local Government there is no substitute for doing boring really well. Only when you have a solid foundation can you innovate.” 6. Who said in 1961: “No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding; and from that understanding comes support or opposition. And both are necessary.” 7. In 1963, who had a hit with Can I Get a Witness? WHAT LINKS 8. Easy; high; push; electric. 9. Hypothetical; Comparative; Probing; Reflective. 10.

Well, she said, It’s not any one single thing. I’m not sure I can describe it exactly. I suggested she pick some examples to see if we could make sense of...
As you know, dear scrutineer, I do like a metaphor, and I’d like you to try this one for size: local government scrutiny as an iceberg.
