COUNCIL HAS HARD ISSUES TO RESOLVE

To the Editor
RE:Lack of change frustrating
I read with interest the views of Bill Smith from Monkton last week in the Banner. I must agree with his view that the taxpayers decided with the last election that change was needed in North Perth.
The previous council was dysfunctional at best, as I have learned personally over the last few yeaars. With the new council we are looking for an honest and transparent municipal council that is capable of making the hard decisions that are fair to all taxpayers of North Perth, not just the selected few.
A Code of Conduct would be a great start, but just that a start. Much more needs to be done to correct some of the issues I have personally witnessed. Council needs to take back control of the municipal office to avoid further embarrassment for mistakes that are made.
I think we have voted in some very good and capable people for council who now have some very hard issues and mistakes from the previous council that need to be resolved. And although they are hard decisions, they should be resolved to be fair to all.
I think Smith spoke for alot of taxpayers in North Perth in his letter and hopefully council is listening. We are willing to give them a chance to make the changes that are needed, but we do need to see that changes are being made.
