Councillor Guy, the poor innocent, wasn't even close to the mark in his assessment of TCC voters supporting Crosby. Any insult was to turkeys because although turkeys are scatterbrained and bred to be devoured, just like TCC ratepayers, they at least know when a turkey shoot is imminent and they become fairly animated about it, not brain dead.
If nothing else, Guy's comments flushed the squawkers out into the open. Can some more please put up their hands and identify themselves so we know who to shun in the efforts to get Tauranga back on track.
Does anyone know when the Crosby 17.8 per cent rate review will be concluded, when the Stewart free CBD parking will kick in and when will TCVL be spending $1/2 million it doesn't have in the kitty on the speedway track upgrade it has no legal liability for.
Proven leadership, financial prudence, a cohesive council – yeah, right!
Blast the councillors comfort zones, what about someone standing up for TCC ratepayers and residents for a change? In conclusion, Crosby's view to the future is really precious/ One wouldn't want to look in the rear vision mirror at the past to see the trail of financial carnage left behind from the 2004-2010 excesses.
