    I would be careful as Mayor Brown - parliamentary supremacy means Labour actually has a lot of power to intervene, esp with a single party majority.

    Lucky Aucklanders, if that were to happen, a barrel load of expensive to feed monkeys

    schemes get piled back on the plate

    The Wellington resident halfwits probably also have a fairly well practiced habit of tossing more
    half baked schemes into the lap of Local Govt as soon as they see a space & convenient opportunity

    Help!’ - Mayor Wayne Brown’s ‘moaning’ first email to Auckland Council CEO covering beer, balance sheets and 400 jobs


    over a list of procedural inadequacies - including financial reports “with no numbers”, an inability to stock a beer fridge, and advertising 400 jobs when managerial cuts “are more than on the cards”.
    First up on Brown’s list of complaints is an alleged lack of detail and numbers in the council financial reports he’s received in his first 11 days in the top job.
    “Simple things like getting paper copies of recent council activities just don’t happen. So far I have received copies of only two meeting papers,” Brown writes.
    The new mayor references “an excruciating 110-page paper on BIDs that discussed things that are not even council’s business”.
    “No numbers at all in the whole meeting papers!” Brown writes, as well as: “Help! The financial briefing we got was very underwhelming. No P&L, no balance sheets.”

    NZ needs more Wayne Brown's up and down the country to kick and drag our Local Bodies into shape from the tardy, Easy large revenue gathering, lazy, bureaucratic, inefficient holiday havens which many show grave signs of being, after decades and decades of bureaucratic rot

    Everyone is paying dearly for these slow-moving parasitic inefficient Local Govt empires, are they not ?

    Typically nebulous response - come on defend Wayne why don’t you? I accept that’s a tough ask but I reckon one Wayne Brown is probably one to many.

    Compared to his predecessor Brown is the second coming of JC.

    Can’t your mate NZTX answer for themselves? Your response is a typical lame cheap shot.

    You need help - sooner the better - ask Balance I think in a recent post advised they had 7 specialists - you could ask nicely to borrow a couple.
