Probert Again
The Wairoa Star reports that encumbent Mayor,Les Probert wil stand again for Mayor in this years elections. Mr Probert has been on council for 25 years and has served two terms as Mayor. Wairoa may be a small council but it has its share of problems.With a large farming area ,extensive coastal frontage and a small population there will always be a host of issues to stuggle with.
Mr Probert does not believe the present rating system is sustainable for an area such as Wairoa.He is a keen promoter of the Wairoa Economic Development Trust.
