What do we get?

WE REFER to a letter in your esteemed local newspaper on Thursday 27 March from Rex Flannery of Narre Warren South stating that councils have stung Victorians with rate rises totalling $2 billion above the rate of inflation in the past 10 years.
The Casey CEO gets a fat salary of over $300,000 and what do we get in exchange? Peanuts. Only the collection of garbage waste.
Also Mr Flannery has once again mentioned that three people (the mayor and two councillors) have been endorsed as candidates for the coming state election.
We ratepayers have a right to call for the dismissal of such people as council cannot be a breeding ground for wannabe state and federal MPs. Council has been elected by the people, for the people and not for their own interest in politics.
We suggest that since they have been endorsed as candidates, they must pay back to council the cost relating to their election to the council, so that the council will not have to foot the bill for their replacements.
