The defining characteristics of the Bob Parker Mayoralty are becoming
apparent,
In my opinion that characteristic is dishonesty, and some people even describe
it as a pork barrel Mayoralty.
PARKER RIGHT WING
On Friday april 11th the Christchurch Press in letters to the editor column
had a blazing headline.
“Parker’s Right-wing colours now out in the open”
I searched through the letters assuming that it was a cut and paste quote from
an angry letter writer over the City’s increase in rentals within the social
housing program.
To be called right wing in this country and especially Christchurch is
extremely damaging.
So why did the Press take this step.
How did this happen so quickly
COUNCIL RENTALS
No it’s not because he raised those rentals on Council flats.
Council has nearly 2700 rental living units; mostly one bedroom; the rents
for which vary from about $75 to nearly $200. Average is under $100 per week
.. .
But here’s the rub.
Many of the people living in these flats have income about $300 per week.
The true market rental is about double the existing rentals.
That is the subsidy is about $100 dollars per week.
Lets say you earn say $400 per week and you have to pay market rental of $180
for a one bedroom flat, your compatriots in Council flats are better off than
you.
The position was one of inequity friends, and the Council move here was
necessary.
No, this is not why we have to sack Parker, the reason he goes is his
institutionalized deviousness, slickness and dishonesty.
I used to hate 2021, because of their collective deals and follow the leader,
which eventually Gary pulled out of :
but Parker makes them 2021 look like pussy.
He demands subservience, executive control and centralized right wing
Corporatisation.
I say to you again, do you really think the editor of Press comes out so
strongly without reason.
The letters tell the story.
Your elected representatives are not supposed to represent you they are
supposed to represent Parker.
One of them told me she wished she had taken a tape recorder to the meeting
with him.
To the meeting with Parker.
WOW
After weeks of research and enquiry I finally got a private sneak look at the
deal Council have signed up to with Ngai tahu.
Remember that day in October when you put your vote in:
elected people, and you hoped you would make a difference. :
I do not think so Citizens.
The deals were already done, already the cunning Gary had set Bob up for a one
term office

Pork on the table today. Italy tomorrow.
There is bad news citizens and friends, the building they have leased has
savage claw back to Ngai Tahu.
The City will take the offices in 2010, but the renovation costs will be
outrageous.
You will pay.
Ngai Tahu will receive a 16% rental in a time when banks are lending at 8%
Bob has been sucked off .
Costs to you my friends = $15 million per year for Bob office
That’s only like $100 per ratepayer per year forever.
This deal is so unconscionable my friends that I will challenge it in the
Courts.
When Norm is Mayor, yes that’s right down size ordinary Norm who cares for you,
I will re negotiate this contract
CHINA
Bob’s trip could have been to any country in the world
So why China dudes

WHY NORM WITHERS for Mayor
Try getting something done , and see who can do it and who hides
Whatever happened to Norm Withers in his life he is the best person
to be our Mayor.
I welcome criticism and comment .
I am privileged indeed to be able to research but that does not mean I
necessarily reach the best conclusion.
