    I’m from Tauranga and it gives me faith in mahe just because he’s on your platform.

    Tauranga must be in pretty bad shape if they’re prepared to vote in a Mayor who’s from outside of the area who has absolutely no experience….

      We are! High rates. Simple minded fools incharge. And he thinking this is about forming a team! He’s a joke and he will show his true colours.

      God Tauranga residents can be such simpleton’s voting in a person who does not live there and has no local government experience and is only known for his sporting prowness

    Go through the bureacrtas line line line and ask every one what they do.
    if its not needed, then give them 3 months notice of redundancy

      Yes! That will somehow magically make the almost empty CBD refill with operational shops!

    I would remind you that the mayor only has one vote just like any counciler Without the support of his council he can achieve nothing. Note the former mayor is back.

    Glad it was Mahe and not Mr Owen’s in my view an over privileged gentleman who it seems is only concerned with big boys toys and no interest in the struggle that most of us face on a daily basis

      I think most Olympian’s are “over privileged”….never done an honest days work in their lives and reliant on government handouts….

      @@mrspecialk1234 have to say that yes if you want to compete at that level you need help however the talent and the commitment necessary is god given also you must be able to focus on the work to the exclusion of all else. If Mahe brings those abilities to his new role he will not only have paid back the tax payers of this country he will do a great job.

    Time will tell.
    Like rowing...Issue by issue, stroke by stroke, in the right direction and staying afloat.
    Hope he can get a team together that won't rock the boat too much.

    all the best Mahe, just focus on keeping the rates down, delivering the water, taking the sewage, fixing the roads, taking the rubbish stay out of the rest as the expensive rubbish that is not your core business and you will be all right

    yes, but who says whats best for the citizens
    Everyone wants different things
    Every councillor will have different ideals and goals
    So this talk about a team so early is just rubbish
