Trust tested

So what a year we have had since the City of Casey councillors were elected.
We had the CEO taken to court.
We had the Casey council taking ratepayers to court.
We had Cr Rosalie Crestani running for the Senate just soon after being elected for the first time to council.
We had junkets to China.
What do we have in store for 2014?
More junkets, this time to Tamworth for the music festival and maybe another trip to China.
Our mayor Geoff Ablett is likely to run for State Parliament and who knows what other councillors are in the mix.
You now understand why I stand up for the ratepayers of our community and speak out because the position we elect our councillors to is done on trust and we expect you all to see out your term in office.
When this trust is broken we have no other choice but to speak out.
Give me the day where I can write a letter to tell the council what a great job you are all doing.
Merry Xmas to you all.
Rex Flannery,
Narre Warren South.
