The licence to pump up a few rubber duckies and float them out on the pond outside Twin Towns RSL has hit the news.
Because it’s the latest fight between opposing Tweed shire councillors.
And for those of you ratepayers that have not followed these grave events the inflatables (shock horror) had to go before a decision of the council with security guards abounding the walls and the decision was the subject of boos and heckles.
Now to the latest critical developments.
It could all be overturned when the mayor returns from sick leave.
No doubt there will have to be an opposing motion with wall to wall security guards, to hold the hecklers back, from whatever brave decision our councillors may have to make.
Lest we have next to pay for fridge magnets, to report suspected local hecklers, and/or stupid councillors.
