Mark Wassung's scheme for a transport hub (page 9, The Weekend Sun, April 16) caught my interest. This scheme proposed by a candidate for a Tauranga City Council seat has merit. It comprehensively addresses the problem of our non-integrated and chaotic transport system. Whatever the merits for this proposal are, it is a very good initiative from a talented architect and is to be commended. This proposal from Mark is the only fresh idea from 20 candidates and reveals a paucity of fresh thinking from people who would be running our dynamic city. As one councillor remarked, the council consists of too many 'pale, male and stale” seat-warmers.

Looks to me that there are to maky seat warmers rather than capables. Sadly listening to sweet words and grandious schemes is actually the root cause of the problems TCC now face. many schemes have huge debt/costs and a raft of consultants sucking the city dry. Until someone with a hard nose and fiscal apptitude appears the black hole will just get bigger.

A great example of "separatism" in this letter to the editor, all about us as K1W1's and "them" as separatists, pale, male and stale, just out of curiosity what would I have been called if I had put a letter to the editor headlined "SLIGHTLY OFF WHITE STALE AND MALE"?.
