Council to whine for lax industry.

Hard on the heels of yesterdays report of a meeting in Council today to vote on a proposal to levy the viticulture industry for environmental vandalism (an observant reader will note that these are my words not theirs) comes news that the Council have bravely backed out of making any decision and instead have put of any decision till next year.
I mean after all, this is an election year right?
And should I be suspicious about the Councillors meeting at the Vintners Retreat on Monday to go over the meeting points?
I mean, they certainly wouldn't have been pre-deciding any issues out of the public eye would they?
I'm sure that it must be very difficult to find a room that will hold 18 people at the Council Building.
This is an election year people. If you think that rate payers are interested in excuses for why you decided to shell out their hard earned money for you to have an afternoon at a retreat. Think again.
They want to see responsible use of their money.
They want to see accountability for decisions.
They want to see if you're a politician or someone that actually gives a damn about something other than themselves.
This will mean that you'll have to be seen to do something.
This will mean that you have to take a position
This will mean that you should be doing the right thing.

Good luck
