When he put his column to bed for the Sunday paper, it's a fair bet he was labouring under the same misapprehension the rest of us were about Chief Justice Derek Green's rules on constituency allowance spending by members of the House of Assembly.
He thought they were in place.
So did most of us, until we found out the reality.
A mistaken impression, aided entirely by the silence of no fewer than six members of the House of Assembly who spoke on the Green bill, allowed Wakeham to write in his column "Where will MHAs be vacationing this summer?":
The MHAs will be at a disadvantage this summer, of course, due to the restrictions Chief Justice Derek Green has placed on the cash they get to cover their asses in the districts...Restrictions, Bob?
Not exactly.
