Hi Brenda,
I agree, it was a good move for our city. It has shifted the problem
around, but at least it was a start.
Bob Parker did not back Norm Withers for deputy Mayor. Bob Parker put
forward Bob Shearing to be his deputy, but Bob Shearing was defeated
in a backroom vote (by just one vote) in favour of Norm. The full
Council then voted at the Council meeting for Norm. This is modern
style consensus politics!
