Well that's news and I can't find any Google confirmation the ECQ website still thinks it's March?<br /><br />However, if true I welcome it for not all the same reasons as Syd. The problem with the current timing is that any new Council comes in during the middle of a budget process with no ability to get on top of things, not having contributed during the planning phase and contribute, so relegated to a rubber stamp. You wouldn't run a junior soccer club this way although I would have to ask Margaret Cochrane on that?!<br /><br />My suspicion on this was confirmed during a discussion following the previous Council election.<br /><br />Also, the current Council cycle is set to collide with a State Guvmint election in March next year unless Anna either goes early or takes the electorally risky constitutional option to run past 3 years which would likely piss people off big time I reckon?!<br /><br />Ironically, the reason these cycles now coincide is that Anna had to rush to an early election in March 2009 to avoid fallout from imminent budget problems .... and subsequent privatisations .... aint life funny ....KitchenSluthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947481064967081891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-64161839871444989802011-04-23T18:14:11.239+10:002011-04-23T18:14:11.239+10:00Hey Syd ...
