OF COURSE, deputy mayor Tania McInnes would say she was " confident about the council's direction....and improvements to customer service." She had no other option now, did she? Why are there " historic gaps in infrastructure?" How has this been allowed to happen for so long ? And how long have we been waiting for a new roundabout at Waipapa? Maybe far too much ( about 20%) of our hard-earned money is going to council staff salaries instead of being spent on this infrastructure. It is also a sorry state of affairs when we cannot even get a rota organised by Council for council staff or outside contractors to pick up the litter along our streets and highways and yet we pay the new CEO $300,000 per year; a man with NO, let me repeat that, NO local government experience. And do we really need Tania McInnes to say what we already know; these statements should surely come from John Carter or is he busy opening fetes or being an M.C at some event? Do we really need a deputy mayor anyway-to pay her salary, too. Apart from drinking copious amounts of coffee and attending interminably long meetings, writing e-mails and chatting, what DO these people (who we elected sadly enough) actually do, apart from the aforementioned, to work for US? After all, we pay their salaries. Let them give us a few examples of what they do (apart from the aforementioned) , individually, that will inspire confidence in ratepayers. IF you had bothered to read the Bay Chronicle, too, you will see that nearly every week a Far North resident when asked what he/she would like to see our mayor do have listed many things they would like him to do-but does he ever address these matters that concern people? He is the master of the understatement . Recall, ' we must think carefully how we dispose of our waste as this has a big impact on our landfills...' DUH....anyone knows this. how about setting an example.
You can bet you life that the work on the Kerikeri ( and we must not think Keri is the centre of the universe or deserving of special treatment) sewage plant will probably exceed the stated $21 million as with the " Managwhai disaster." Did council ever think ( not that common sense is one of their strong points) of inserting a clause that would make the main contractors pay for every day that they exceed the scheduled finish date? Did they not think of other cost-effective options offered up to them by Paihaia and Kerikeri Ratepayers Association ( one of whom has vast experience in these types of sewage works )?
No, we all need to get behind Des Mahoney when he begins a petition next week seeking thousands of signatures to support his letter ...for a statutory manager or commissioner to run the FNDC.
We need a clearing out of the old guard; we need a breath of fresh air; people in positions of power and authority who do not need $300,000 per year ( you could always donate some of it to getting youth back in work; or the ambulance service ,e.t.c) to do a job that should be an honour to do-to serve, yes, serve , the people of the Far North; a person who is honest; a person of integrity.
