I could not agree more with D Morris [The Weekend Sun, December 18] for all reasons given, warning of Tauranga's democracy being at risk under a commissioner.
In my opinion it is a political stunt by a Labour government to undercut what for years has been a National represented city, with even one of the local Labour central government representatives pushing for it. Wow.
It appears the decision was made just after the election in October.
All bar one of the six councillors had agreed to work with all other councillors, or manager. Where else would you get such a high percentage co-operating totally? And that wasn't enough.
It was announced on the very day the Labour government was 'outed” as not having been correct in how they handled the Covid-19 pandemic and not releasing the September 2020 report detailing Ministry of Health failures, until Government closed down for Christmas this week.
Wake up Tauranga ratepayers before it's too late.
J Hill, Tauranga South.

Democracy is not at risk by the appointment of a commissioner. We never had democracy, we had a cabal of bullies, who were only there for selfish reasons.
