Woo hoo....maybe this term our local representatives can focus on leading this community - not stirring the proverbial at ratepayers cost. Without Mr Evans this should be achievable - here's hoping the idiot doesn't start screaming injustice at this result - I am sure he has some far-fetched plan up his sleeve. God help us!


Congratulations Bill
