Dear Editor,
Here’s a challenge for Helen Donaldson and Tony Lloyd. The police have agreed not to bother taking action against the respective chairs of the Paekākāariki and the Paraparaumu/Raumati community boards over the duo’s complaint that the chairmen’s appeal to candidates was a breach of the Electoral Act.
Their complaint had forced KCDC to seek legal advice. Given their claim had been chucked out as having no substance can the hard pressed ratepayers, especially those facing the 42% rate increase over the next few years, expect Ms Donaldson and Mr Lloyd to make another OIA request on the cost of the legal advice.
They can then foot the cost of the legal bill for this frivolous, political point scoring, extravagant exercise. Put your money where your mouth is.
