Mayor Hucker back in charge

It looked for a couple of weeks that Auckland Deputy Mayor Dick Hubbard was actually going to get promoted to his old job of Mayor. But as the Herald points out, Bruce Hucker is firmly Mayor in all but name.

I think the statement by Bruce Hucker “There is no problem between the mayor and me” will go down as about as credible as “Peace in our time”.

I suspect there is going to be a huge backlash in 2007, against both Hubbard and Hucker.
