Veteran trougher Leigh Auton said this back in June this year;
“I’ve chosen not to apply for any of the positions. For me that’s a big decision,” he says. “I’ve been 32 years in Manukau City and another three years before that at Waitemata.
“The time’s right for me to go. I spent a lot of time last year working my way through that. I’m still a couple of years shy of 60 and if I want to set up my own business, it’s the right time to do it.”
Why the change of heart? No clients for his new business? Nobody wants a trougher and a liar?
No wonder Len Brown is trying to find a job for his old mate and protector of secrets.
One has to wonder why though, that Len brown is trying to have these appointments conducted in secret?
Is this part of his promise to “always front up”… to give us “the straight answers, always with a limit.”
What this blogger wants to know is who else in Len Browns support team, donors and campaign team have been promised jobs? What other interesting names are going to creep out of the woodwork in coming weeks? And how does Len Brown reconcile these appointments with his claim to have stood for office to be the Mayor for ALL of Auckland, and not just his lefty mates and funders.
