No offense meant to Hop Fluffy, and give her my congrats, but this is a very worrying time in my opinion. Thanks to the State level ineptitude from both sides the people have spoken by basically selecting a whole raft of fringe players to run councils. They should either get rid of the State govt and make Councils truely run services, or insist that Councils only provide basic services such as garbage etc. These days in Council it is all about sponsored sister city junkets, save the tadpoles of Venezuela, and thou shalt not spit, drink bottled water or use an extra lightbulb. This State is turning into a real toilet.
