Greater Dunedin For Financial Responsibility

The three councillors who were elected to the Dunedin City Council under the Greater Dunedin Banner, Dave Cull, Kate Wilson and Chris Staynes, are looking for candidates to join them for next year's election.
Dave Cull said that the council needed to be "much more transparent and financially responsible". I am sure that this will strike a chord with many voters, as the current Council could be described as financially reckless.
Greater Dunedin need to get enough councillors elected to form a majority on the Council, for there to be a change of direction.

  1. I wonder how much power the elected councillors actually have. It seems to me that the real power and influence comes from the staff and, in particular, the CEO. I hope I am wrong but that is what it looks like to me. Grahame
