Public Gallary at last council meeting. Two candidates (Tokoroa ward foreground , Mayoral centre, and experienced local government staff member far side) take in the final historic meeting of a four term 12 year Mayor.
Letter to the editor. Election Advertising (south waikato news p.6 October 5th 2016)
Leighton Collins wrote, "Once again it does not look good when a Mayor favours one candidate over the others" and stated "This candidate should be barred from the election because of unfair advantage over the other Mayoral Candidates"
Seems to me an election spending issue. $1 per page going to 22,500 residents seems to put a candidate over the $19,000 limit if you add in the signs and car fuel. A John Banks and Kim Dot com moment in South Waikato post election.
Leighton Collins is calling for "...I consider that this is a blatant form of advertising." And "I consider that that particular member should be withdrawn from the Mayoral elections."
Wow strong stuff happening with two days of campaigning before all signs before come down Friday.
