Alastair Bourne's letter (24 Dec), emphasised that he was not to happy to have this rotten council in power for another three years and moaning letters to the editor, anyone with half a brain cell would know that our rates will be raising.
He also expects the council to have $700 million plus debt by the end of their term, and will become the first City Council to go into receivership. Alistair also goes on to say, we are to stop moaning, as we basically re-elected the same useless council back into office, vote them out, at the next election, then get behind viable candidates that could run the council.
Alastair you have just done the very thing you criticised others for: moaned about our council, though the media. The council has already indicated that we can expect an increase in rates, so no surprises there. You also failed to enlighten us as to what the additional $330 million that we need to borrow, that will place us into receivership, is to be spent on.
The councillors and mayor were democratically elected, is there a better way? Just who are these viable candidates that we should be supporting.
