ROBERT Treller’s letter of February 1, ‘‘Think again on backing wind turbines’’, in which he questions Cr Keith Reynard’s promotion and advocacy for wind farms, highlights an important point in this, an election year for council.
It’s all too easy for aspirants for council to be negative, but not to state what they will do.
Voters need to be sure that candidates are not just aware of the problems that this council and community face but that they have ideas and a vision for the future.
Keith Reynard has been a strong voice for 21st century thinking.
He has attracted similar negative comments over the years, but he also received the highest primary vote of any councillor in the last election.
The voters can see through much of the bluster of electioneering, if given the chance.
Whilst there are months to go before the election, could your paper consider creating opportunities for candidates to share with your readers the positive ideas they have for our city?
DAVID JONES,
Sedgwick
