My old mate, Patrick Cull, in referring to my abscence at Council Meetings and using my pet name for them, asked me recently; “When are you coming back to the kindergarten, Alan?”
I am a bit slow so would like to say Patrick that I will do so when I see all ward councillors putting the city FIRST – even if it goes against the political grain. After all a succesful growing city offers many more rewards than a city being ground into submission by petty party politics.
Ward Councillors need to be a different political animal to the ‘higher ups’ – as representatives of the ratepayers, residents and the City they need to put the needs of the ratepayer, residents and the City FIRST followed in the far distance by the needs of their political party. Unfortunately petty party politics always seems to come first.
For once I would like to see ward councillors make decisions based on prosperity of the whole and not prosperity of the portion.
