Pam Ditton, Byron Bay.
Byron Greens membership has more than doubled since Tom Tabart was on Council. Members either joined or renewed this financial year, which doesn’t indicate a loss of support for the Greens mayor and councillors or for Byron Greens itself.
So many possible responses to Tom’s parting shots (Echo 18 October), I’ll unpick just one. Byron Greens meetings were temporarily moved to a Wednesday due to my complaints about being deafened by trivia night in the adjacent room on Tuesdays. Wednesdays don’t suit the councillors and our meetings will soon move to another night. Tom knows this but chose to style the councillors absence in September as demonstrating being ‘uninterested’. What a cheap shot from a very long-term Greens member.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
