Where's the list Len?

by Whaleoil on January 15, 2011

Len Brown keeps on getting his tame repeater at the Herald to spin up large his “100 projects in 100 days”.

Unfortunately facts don’t match the spin.

Today is day 76 of his 100 days. So far we have no idea just how many off the 100 projects there are because there is no list in existance, they are still dreaming them up.

With yesterday marking the 75th day, Mr Brown said the Christmas break meant he had announced only about 50 projects but was confident of reaching his target by February 8.

I just bet that there will be a crisis meeting on Monday morning that will result in the 100 days being extended by omitting weekends and public holidays thereby stretching the 100 days out to the 4th of March to give them more time to come up with dumb projects.

So far we have seen one of the projects being the cleaning of the Town Hall windows, so imagine how inane the 100th project will be.

Still where is the secret list of 50 projects? How come it is only Len Brown that knows what these projects are?

    I repeat again (from the previous free swimming pool Whaleoil post) – “Len Brown and his team should not be allowed to run rough-shod over everyone thinking that they have a mandate from the ratepayers to do what they like. I had thought the Super City was a good idea – now I am having second thoughts. In my corner of the woods, as a ratepayer, I am now feeling very disenfranchised. The ratepayer’s voice is not being heard by the Auckland Council. They can only hear their own voices. Mayor Len Brown and his team should take a lesson from Helen Clark – she disenfranchised the voter and refused to listen to the ordinary folk – now she is working at the UN listening to all the wonderful voices of power there. There is no such thing as a free lunch and Mayor Len Brown is WRONG when he says something is free. He needs to stop titillating and take the running of our city far more seriously and realise he is using working people’s money to make his election promises come true. Auckland Council has a large debt. Mayor Len Brown needs to get that paid off first before making any more promises that he cannot keep.”

    If Bernard Orsman interviews the “other side” of the Auckland Council then I hope he treats them exactly the same as he has done with Mayor Len Brown. I think Bernard has rose-tinted glasses and his head is stuck deeply into the sand!

      Actually Matybelle, I think it would be more accurate to say that Bernard Orsman’s head is firmly inserted into an orifice of Len Brown’s where the sun don’t shine :-)

    Nothing wrong with SuperCity idea (think Sydney/Brisbane = one Mayor etc) but Brown is the problem. He seems to be appealing to non ratepayers.

    marybelle, don’t be surprised. Len Brown will deliver exactly what lefties always deliver:
    - higher taxes (rates);
    - grandiose social schemes that have no regard for the kind of enterprise and wealth creation necessary to pay for them;
    - bread and circuses for those whose votes can be bought (free swimming pools anyone?); and
    - spin, spin, spin………

    Sadly we’ve seen it all before. Another 2 years and 9 months to go.
