Increasing pressure

JUST to let Mayor Sam Aziz know it has been three weeks since I wrote to this paper so I want you to understand I am not obsessed with you, and to let you know I don’t write weekly about you.
I want to mention your words (broken record syndrome ) which you tell the Casey residents and Ratepayers Association on many of your rants.
You tell us we the ratepayers need to have rate increases. Well, I will tell you we don’t.
Where is the money the developers pay council when they build new estates?
Is there money placed into the budget or does it get put away for a rainy day? $14 a year sounds cheap when you just say it that way, but when you add it to your rates of a few thousand dollars it is a lot.
I have been out and about in Casey and people ask me, I thought the mayor was joining you on your door knocking walk.
See mayor, the residents hear you but don’t see you.
Now where have I heard that before?
Rex Flannery,
Narre Warren South.
