Are they serious?
OPINION: The Greens aren’t serious people when it comes to the economy, so let’s not spend too much on their fiscal fantasies.
“The rules and costs imposed on us for the most basic developments are prohibitive,” one Wellsford farmer told the canine crusader. “They’re unnecessary and arbitrary rules, all the extra costs sheet back to the landowners and it’s just not worth trying to develop anything.”
There were plenty of warnings that bringing a rural district under the super-city umbrella wouldn’t work.
In 2009, then-Rodney Mayor Penny Webster was unhappy with the boundary and representation changes.
She said Rodney would be poorly represented on the proposed council, with only one or two councillors. Time to secede?
