SWith regard to the Alliance, I'd like to say a great big thank
you to Sandra Lee, who is doing a great job as Minister of Conservation
while being dumped on by other people in the coalition government
and no public support from Matt McCarten or Jeannette Fitzsimon,
both of whom are featured on your home page.
I
liked Finlay MacDonald's editorial in The Listener of September
1st. I'd also like to bring to your attention Rodney District
Council's website, www.rodney.govt.nz where, if you click onto
Economic Development underneath the News header you'll see the
results of a new model for local government in action. This
model was referred to as a 'bubbling up' model at the Tai Tokerau
Tourism Forum last week, and Rodney seems committed to putting
it into practice. Come to think of it, Sandra Lee as Minister
of Local Government had something to do with the renewal of
the whole Rodney District Council. Let's give Sandra some credit
where credit is due!
