Really, who are these Councillors fooling. After two terms in office, a ratepayer would expect them to know what is needed to be done! Afterall, at each election their election pamphlets always tell us they know this and that and yet one month away from an election, they spend 100K on a study which they know wll not be acted upon later. Lip service to dramatic increases in rates and mention of real action on this but they find money - ratepayers money to grandstand for one more election - hoping to hide their failures and securing just one more term on Council. Ratepayers do not be fooled for another four years. Send this lot packing and bring in a fresh start. Monash deserves better!
