Well! That election result certainly punctured my ego. Fifteenth out of twentyone!
My thanks to those who voted for me.
As I pondered the message that the voters have sent in returning the Pick 6 four, my thoughts were that their message was one that the ratepayers wanted - no expenditure beyond what was necessary to keep the place ticking over. OK fair enough I thought. Perhaps Mayor Crosby and the boys can work with that.
But then Monday's (news) and once again life was a barrel of laughs as Councillor Guy put paid to any idea of working with the Mayor, with his turkey comments.
I should thank my lucky stars that I won't have to work in this atmosphere for the next three years.
That's democracy for you!
Joye Adams, Mount Maunganui.
