Wellington Elections

An interesting editorial from the Dominion Post today.

Not too many will be surprised that the paper endorses Kerry Prendergast for a third term as Wellington’s Mayor. But somewhat radically they call for Lower Hutt Mayor David Ogden to be sacked, saying “He is not suited to the mayoral chains”.

Bizarrely they refer to rumours (which are news to me, and I suspect to Mark) that Mark Blumsky wants to return to local government, and suggest he stands for the Lower Hutt Mayoralty!
