There has been some talk about insurance issues, but you can hardly place that on the council.<br /><br />It is somewhat ironic that all the RMA requirements and bloated bureaucracy that (lets face it) people 'called for' has now come back to bite those very same people. The RMA hasn't been touched politically because it was too easy for the opposition to appeal to the societal NIMBY factor that they wouldn't be 'consulted'.<br /><br />The same people were up and arms about the govt giving ECan the boot, now what the govt to give CCC the boot.<br /><br />Also I've noticed a serious case of crowd inflation going on. Initially crowd reports were 1000, then 2000 in the press, now it's 4000?Vnoreply@blogger.com
