What they have achieved is highly commendable,” Cr Byrne said.<BR/><BR/>“Soon the people of Douglas can put the dark days behind them and start to enjoy the same high levels of good governance the people of greater Cairns have enjoyed for eight years,” he said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-82183694867969067062008-02-28T08:45:00.000+10:002008-02-28T08:45:00.000+10:00It amazes me that these people are holding a Mayor...It amazes me that these people are holding a Mayoral luncheon, but only inviting half the candidates. It is a bit unfair that this can happen. Maybe Kev and Val should decide not to turn up until Selwyn and Peter are invited. <BR/>Well,,,, I know Kev wont do that, he has no respect for the people he is supposed to represent, but, I thought Val was better than that. Come on Val, I know you are better than that. You should demand that they be invited.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
