New Councillor Knows it All

First term Hastings councillor Wilson thinks she knows it all. She has found solace in the RMA and thinks it is cool to quote parts of the Act to justify her council making appalling decisions.Trouble is she does not understand the Act as yet.

It is a little like when new MP’s were told to breathe through their nose for the first term.Learn what it is all about and be careful.

Cr Anne Wilson has forgotten one major part of her anatomy—–ears.She is their to represent ratepayers not to preach to them.
It is time she shut up and opened her ears. Time to learn not to dictate.

Such a shame.

Napier CC and Sports Park

From the very clear comments made on radio by Cr Dalton the Napier City Council has no desire at all to contribute funds to the proposed sports park.

The point was well made that Hastings were not prepared to help fund the McLean Park upgrade which is truly a regional facility.
So why expect Napier residents to contibute to a Hastings facility. And it is a Hastings facility.It is not a regional facility and the council should not tout it to be as such.

Napier is in a strong position financially as is the Regional Council. 

Hastings has made bad decisions and is in the poo.

Face up to it for a start
