Councillors’ contempt

07/11/2013

I fully endorse Keith Townsend’s (Junk the Junkets, Opinion, News 31 October) comments on councillors Berkelmans and Smith.
I will add that I firmly believe all councillors of the City of Casey be sacked and replaced with an administrator.
They have all demonstrated total contempt of the residents in so many ways and their endorsement of Michael Taylor as CEO has broken the camel’s back.
I will be writing to the relevant Victorian state minister along these lines.
Enough is enough.
Arvo Talvik,
Cranbourne.
