Commenting on "Race for Monash heats up"
http://waverley-leader.whereilive.com.au/news/story/race-for-monash-heats-up/
I'm disappointed that I can't give it another shot at the Council election after 3 failed attempts due to my recent appointment. However, I'm very happy to see new comers are going to give Paul Klisaris and Micaela Drieberg some competition in Mulgrave ward, and Geoff Lake in Glen Waverley.
I have been urging ratepayers to vote with their brain rather their heart. Helping a political mate to get into any government does not and will not benefit your wallet and wellbeing, unless the representative is genuine to get in there for the good of the people rather than his/her own ego and glory.
I don't just vote for the new contestants for the sake of change or their political stance. I vote for them if they can demonstrate to me, at least in their campaign literature or in person, that they have the desire to effect changes in the Council chambers in response to the needs of Monash ratepayers. They must have clear understanding about gambling and unemployment issues in Monash, and continue to call a safe solution for Clayton railway crossing.
Before you cast your vote, read what Des Olin, Chan Cheah and Damian Lobo can offer us. It's time the Council needs some new blood!
