"I represent the people of North Shore and the best interests of my citizens". Andrew Williams, North Shore Mayor.
I voted for Andrew Williams, the Loony Mayor of Auckland's North Shore, because he promised to focus on cutting costs to ratepayers and bringing an open an honest way of operating the council.
Not only are we going to get a another massive hike in rates this year but Andrew and his mates have been busy spending millions on buying beach front houses to "make parks", putting in swing bridges in Castor Bay at the bottom of his street at the cost of half a million, spending up large on food and alcohol for himself and councilors and allowing private contractors to increase their bills on Council works projects when quotes were given at a set price.
The latest money wasting exercise is William's use of over $1300 of ratepayer money (see video below) to buy private label wine at 18 bucks a bottle to give to political allies and friends.
The wine is labeled "Stop Banks" and is a reference to John Banks and his advocacy for a "Super City" for Auckland, which Williams is against because he wouldn't stand a shit show of getting anywhere near being elected, because the guy is barking.
William's priorities are wrong, he has broken most of his pre-election policies and this latest scandal should surely mean he falls on his highly paddled arsehole and give the Mayoral chains to someone who has respect for the office of Mayor and the ratepayers who have paid for his grand schemes and this latest little tawdry muck fest.
William's Mayoral term thus far has been mired in controversy, arrogance, paranoid rantings, stupidity and downright nuttiness at times.
I am truly ashamed that I voted for this mad prick. I wish I could take my vote back.
Tell Crunchy what you think of his disrespectful ways at mayor@northshorecity.govt.nz Dont be nasty just state your opinion forcefully.
