    I visited Wellington last year for the first time in many years.
    It seemed to be full of earnest leftist-liberal types, many working for the state in minor policy or advisory positions and all intent on fixing the world.
    Not much interest in private enterprise, perhaps even hostility to it. And hostility to the established norms on which the city and our country is built.
    Instead of trying to address real issues of concern to ordinary people, the council is devoting time, money, people and resources into exploring having the Muslim call to prayer publicly broadcast in Wellington. It beggars belief how arrogant and out-of-touch the council is.

    It's nice to know that at least one councilor on the WCC is in tough with reality. The LGWM is a project by admin staff trying to justify their existence. The recent Lambton Bus Exchange project that cost millions has achieved NOTHING; just cosmetics. WHAT A WASTE.
