So the Mayor of Tauranga has announced that if
re-elected the first 100 days of 2014 will be set aside for restoring pride and the identity in Tauranga. Oh great.
For the record, Mr Crosby has been involved in local body issues since first being elected to council in 1986 (9855 days ago) and has been Mayor for the last nine years (3285 days).
It is my, however, my belief that from the day of first being elected he should have been constantly promoting the pride and identity of Tauranga, rather than now announcing what appears to basically be his only new re-election proposal for 2013.
Vision is what Tauranga needs and while this is all part of pride and identity, it is vision that this city desperately needs and has, in my view, been seriously lacking for the last 10 years or more.
This council needs an injection of vision, along with new blood for a new future.
Make sure that you get out there and vote these forthcoming elections because in the end we will end up with exactly what we vote for.
Mike Baker, Bethlehem.

Who does the Mayor think he is! Superman? It's not the mayors JOB to restore pride and identity to Tauranga - It SHOULD be his job to NOT put obstacles in the way of those trying to do things that benefit the city. The mayor is falling in to the same old regime that has been tried and failed time and time again. Stop taking on stuff you have no skills, expertise, experience or knowledge of. Stop taking and spending other peoples money. Stop trying to be all things to all people. Allow experts in their field or entrepreneurs invest their own money, passion and vision into the city FREE OF CHARGE and FREE OF RESPONSIBILITY. I am all keen on new blood, so long as it is NOT of the same TYPE as the current blood. Change for changes sake is a waste of time.
