It appears that we are seeing the real Mayor of Tauranga now that his short honeymoon period is over.
We saw signs of it in his unforgivable, bullying verbal attack on councillor Hollis which was followed by an insincere apology.
Now in trying to load the Elizabeth Street decision in his favour he has alienated himself from the other councillors.
The Deputy Mayor's decision to resign was probably not his own, and the Mayor's fast deputisation of Tina could be seen as an attempt to elect a person of his own choice rather than have the other councillors elect one of their own.
Obviously they may have elected councillor Salisbury anyway, but in the interest of having a functioning council they need to elect the deputy themselves.
The last thing ratepayers need is a divided council wasting their own time with in-house fighting.

I think the more infighting inside the council the better This is will limit the time avaliable for themto make the piss poor decisions they have been making.

And that is exactly what Tauranga ratepayers have got. This Mayor was not questioned on his "agenda" nor were most councilors and now you have a split council who govern not for you but for them and "their" friends! Maybe you will learn from this? maybe not?
