LOL Lyla, do you wear the pants?
I am rapt at our new mayor. He won by 12,000 to 7,700 to the current mayor - who tries to be all nice with everyone by having regular coffee dates with members of the general public?  Hoping we get some firmer leadership in Palmy, no more pansying to the public, let the Mayor spend his time doing what he's supposed to be doing I say!  ------------- |

no teresa i dont wear the pants - well we share them but he is so lazy about things like that. and i get sick of listening to the complaining about the government etc, so have instigated the no whinging if no voting rule.
we also have a rule for rugby season - he can play as long as he doesnt whinge about how sore he is. exceptions are real injuries but old age is not an exception ------------- Lyla - mum to Xanthe - my big 4 year old

I voted since I worked with the mayor and councilors 
lol Teresa.. Heather Tanguay isn't actually that bad. But she is very community minded and doesn't have any business knowledge at all.. Jono Naylor is alright though.. Theres a couple of stinky results for Palmy though. Michael Feyen is a wanker. Lew Findlay is an asshole... |

Yep I voted as I am passionate about local politics, after all they directly affect us and how our rates are spent! And yay, it looks like Penny Webster is the new mayor of Rodney! I can't believe that socialist Wayne Walker is a close second though, wow! ------------- Lou http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

Yep I voted but no idea of the results. I don't live in a city so not sure where to find the district results.
Don't you think John Banks winning with 44085 votes in a city the size of Akl is a bit sad. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

I did vote and i'm happy, i'll quite happily say I voted for Jono, he was the only person I saw out meeting the people of Palmy. But I voted for the wanker ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

We didn't vote... 'cause it was too much hassle, so we never got around to sorting it all out. When we moved here, we filled in our change of electoral roll stuff and sent it off... we got letters back a couple of weeks later saying we hadn't been in our new place long enough so we were still enrolled in our old electorate of Taupo. By the time we got those letters, we'd been here the month required!
Anyway, we haven't quite got around to enrolling in the Wellington electorate yet... and couldn't be bothered casting special votes for Ruapehu District when we don't live there anymore. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

I think Feyen might actually have stuff to offer and I'm glad he downsized from Mayor to Councillor. But I was shocked to see Lew Findlay was in! I know he does Drug Arm but he doesn't look all that passionate about life to me And yet he got more votes than Hornblow (or anyone else)! ------------- |

| Finlay has soo many connections around the city thats why he got in I think. He runs the Street Van which is really just a free taxi service for drunken idiots at night. But he really is an asshole. The stories I heard about things he had said to Council staff was appauling. He was a right bully to some. And the one time I had to phone him for something he was a complete ass to me. |

Me too Becks, I didn't want the ex copper getting in. Besides Ian McKelvie is doing a good job, and comes across well. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |

Well Feilding but close enough. Steve Gibson - losser cop that is famous for giving out a record number of tickets in 1 day. Then funnily enough got a ticket for having an expired registration on his trailer that he had his billboard on. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Just to say the street van is not just about drunks it does alot of other things too, am a bit shocked at the comments about lew findlay really as my dad knows him and he does do a heck of a lot of things for the community sad to think that he has done the things you are talking about??!! Since moving we did not get an option for voting but would have def voted for Jono Naylor he is great and so pleased he has won the mayor position for Palmy . -------------
