Outgoing Governor goes out with a bang of huge debts

A departing governor of a county near the city is said to have sensed the public mood and planted seeds that he knew would torment his successor. The flamboyant governor is said to have gone on a spending spree using public funds to construct stadiums with artificial turfs in village outposts, hastening the construction of grand hospital projects and paved roads at gigantic cost.

The idea, according to insiders in his departed government was to ensure the resources of the county were tied up in paying debts thus denying his successor and bitter rival an opportunity to hit the ground running with delivery of his promised projects.

The debt portfolio the former governor has left in this affluent county is said to have shocked the incoming government which is still smarting on how to overcome the handicap.
