Wow, he explicitly says he knows better than the public servants and should be able to intervene to pursue party political goals - it's impressive to not be competent enough to know that you can't say that out loud.
In response to your comment about whether or not any projects were approved for Northumberland, I spoke with Piccini prior to the last election and he commented that Northumberland was carrying a lot of debt that made it unlikely to be approved to spend more. This was before his appointment to his current cabinet post. Unless Northumberland has gained control over their debts, (I can hardly believe I'm saying this) it seems responsible to not approve any more projects for them.
