Council Amalgamations are firmly back on the State Government Agenda. Kyogle has been suggested as a partner for Lismore City Council (LCC). Here are two reasons why I think this is a very bad idea indeed not only for Lismore Council but also for ratepayers. 1. Kyogle Council has a huge infrastructure backlog; LCC has a large infrastructure backlog and significant debts. Apparently putting these two together is going to improve things? In what way I ask! 2. The larger the Council the more prospect of it being run by political parties. Do you what your council run by people who have agendas other than the best interest of ratepayers? Do you want Macquarie Street Politicians to have even more influence over local decision making? If you don’t want amalgamations you need to let you local and state political representatives know.
