We need information about the Mayoral candidates. Will they be forceful enough to get a grip on Council staff? That’s the CEO’s job really but it hasn’t been happening. Will they realise that increased population is not the way forward for our city (or the country for that matter)? Will they be courageous enough to reverse some of the unfortunate decisions rushed through by the Commission?
We sure don’t need another spoilt Aucklander. Think hard about the candidates Tauranga, a good Mayor is the key to developing a great council.

In answer to Shadow1, will they be courageous enough not to reverse many decisions made by the commissioners?. Will they be capable of seeing the whole picture, the whole city & not just their little patch? What do they think is the answer to our lack of infrastructure, such as water storage & supply? What are their thoughts on public transport or, are like past elected members, fixated on roads?
These are just a few of the problems facing this city & solutions are needed to bring it up to date, then into the future.
