Candidates For Local Council

The bro sent me this the other day - it's a website showing all the different council candidates and which ward/positions they are standing for.

I don't know about you but there only seems to be one decent candidate and I guess I'm biased.

Also, I don't know what it is but Julie Jukes doesn't seem right to me. Something about posing in the paper with your bros - just doesn't sit right with me. Still, good luck to her.

Graeme Hanlen I'm not mad at. I'm thinking very seriously about voting for him. But like I've asked before, is he just Colin Holmes Lite?

Tony Bonne I hear good things about but I'm reserving my judgement until I read the little booklet that comes with my voting papers - they still do that right? That 'Lose the weight and keep the gear' advert is putting me right off haha.

I'm know sweet f.a about Ian Shearer. I know he didn't want the pensioner housing to be sold and stood up on that issue. I also know that he stepped in and answered the tough questions posed to Tony Bonne in a letter to the Beacon. Tuff Gong.

Judy Turner is a good pick - she's got central government experience and she fought tooth and nail to keep Environment Bay of Plenty in Whakatane. Mean as.

In terms of District Council, it's Christine Larsen all the way.


Who are you voting for?
