This is the full letter that was part- printed in the Fleurieu Sun last week
Regarding your page 3 story last week, our Mayor seems to forget that we live in a free country with the right to voice our concerns regarding any Government or Council decisions, so long as it’s lawful!.
there is a lot of local concerns about the Public Private Enterprise [PPE] agreement that the Mayor and CEO is promoting,
This is not just going to affect our generation of ratepayers and residents but for the next 7 generations, or at least for 99 years !!
This PPE was never mentioned before the Council election, but has now become the flagship project of our Mayor and CEO
leaving a person to wonder if our Mayor is trying to build her profile for a run as the candidate for Finniss in the State election?
As our Mayor has stated publicly she has inside information regarding a Labour Party meeting less than 24 hours after the party meeting when the President was handed a motion on notice
we could assume that she is thinking about standing as a Labour candidate? and has had talks with labor party officials.
I am calling on our Mayor Jenkins to either confirm or deny that she has any parliamentary ambitions in next year’s state elections?
Now let’s look at the facts regarding the flagship PPR project
1 Not one of the sporting groups have supported this project
2 The land was bought by the previous council for all sporting groups to use!
3 There is no State or Federal funds available for this project
4 Elected members are not there to just rubber stamp the admin and Mayors wishes, and this project was only passed by the Mayor using her casting vote.
5 I suggest that the Elected members look at the track record of the company involved for themselves before they make the final decision to commit ratepayers to this project
6 Nowhere in SA or Interstate can I find a similar project that has comes in on time, and budget
