Carterton mayoralty...

 I have never read the likes of such a vacuous puff piece by Greg Land in Saturdays Times Age.

Lang who is standing for a second term not once mentioned ballooning rates, padded payrolls or the pokey, cramped barely fit for purpose library.

or for that matter the cheap and nasty pebble topped footpaths off the main drag. I can think of no other town in New Zealand that treats its pedestrians with such contempt.

Not good enough.

all the above issues need addressing but no he is more concerned with a whole lot of new age blah about individuals fulfilling their destiny and other rot.

The bureaucrats are running rampant and he is kowtowing to them.

he has adopted the attitude of we know everything there is to know and if we dont know it then it doesn't matter because if it did matter then we would know it and any way mind your own business.

such a pity such a waste.
