I agree wholeheartedly with R Whelan in last week’s Echo.
It’s about time the Byron Shire Council started serving the constituents whom they are supposed to represent instead of the self-serving actions we see from councillors.
Apart from Duncan Dey, councillors appear to be career politicians, only interested in what’s in it for them. According to the urban dictionary, a career politician is ‘a person who approaches politics as a profession. A person who’s in politics to make money and/or to have power. For them, making the world a better place is secondary or immaterial’.
Week after week, The Echo, which seems to be the only outlet for the people’s voice, cites examples of unacceptable behaviours and attitudes of councillors.
We need people working for us that actually care about the area and the people who live here.
The Lyon has had its Dey.
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.
