A tale of two Mayors
0
The Taxpayers’ Union has been exposing the massive costs to ratepayers of simple steps to beaches.
Some stairs at Milford Beach are costing $263,000, and Mayor Wayne Brown didn’t just knee jerk defend his Council, but agreed it was “disgraceful”. That is real leadership – recognising his responsibility is to ratepayers, not to defend the Council regardless.
Then this week the TU exposed that New Plymouth was spending $1.2 million on some access stairs to a beach. No that isn’t a typo. But Mayor Neil Holdom rushed in to defend it.
A real tale of two Mayors. I knew which one I would want as a ratepayer.
