Hey guys,
It's just after 5.00am and I'm up (not raring to go...need more caffeine yet)...
THANKS!!! Nothing like a bit of support from the gang at the Bird to help me along
.
There are two women who have worked tirelessly on this for 2 years now - they are a generation or two up on me and their energy is incredible. As much as anything, I hope for them we see a good result today.
They weren't much into 'sticking it to the man' until another woman (Helen) and I really them fired up...just not in their nature to turn a little feral...but if it wasn't for them and their efforts we just wouldn't have a campaign now at all.
Rika - there's a whole lot of stuff going on here...this is just the tip of the iceberg; but it's the one issue that is emotional enough to get the community off their bums...we have so much info on this bunch and how inept they are that it's frightening...council have vowed to be transparent and agree that their role is to be financially frugle and responsible - no evidence thus far of either!
There's two facebook groups (one with a couple of thousand angry locals on board)....the people are coming out of the woodwork at last!
This is one matter that may just unite the business group, the ratepayers association and the save the pool group altogether...that's formidable in anyone's town
.
BTW....my name is mud with some of the councillors...and senior council staff...after today it's going to be even muddier...I gave them due warning a while ago that the fight was just beginning...
Hey Angela!
You're right
...I am a political animal from way back...wish Mum and Dad were both around to see me in action again...they'd both be saying "look, our girl's BACK"... hehehehehe....Mike's pretty chuffed - loves it when his wife fires up
.
OK - got to get my head right for the day (and try to look decent for the TV crew - huh)...
Thanks again!
