Occasionally I have written to this excellent newspaper, pointing out the shortcomings of the elected members of TCC and its CEO.
I really have bigger things to worry about. Global warming, carbon credits, if pole dancing will ever be recognised as an Olympic sport, and if so how could I be involved.
Now the Mayor feels that it is necessary to criticise one of his councillors in this very journal.
If the captain of the All Blacks publicly criticised one of his players he wouldn't remain captain for long.
The same applies to Mayor Crosby. He is the elected leader of an elected council but shows no leadership qualities.
The councillors, it is accepted are in disarray, making secret tape recording of each other, sitting outside the councillors room sulking, publicly attacking each other.
.Good material for a sit com I should have thought. It just a shame that it is costing the rate payer so dearly.
We need a Mayor who can lead, councillors who are team players who listen to the people who elected them, and a CEO who doesn't earn more than the Prime Minister and can sort out the financial mess that we are in.
