Albany is going to be the ward to watch in the Auckland Supercity electorate, for obvious reasons, as the Herald notes:
"Meet the Albany Candidates" evenings will be lively in halls from Browns Bay to Orewa as old foes Cameron Slater and mayoral candidate Andrew Williams trade verbal blows.
"I've five invitations so far and I'll hold him to account," Mr Slater said about Mr Williams, a regular target of his Whale Oil blog.
Mr Williams, who has been North Shore Mayor for three years and wants to be first mayor of the Auckland Council, is nominated for Albany ward.
Mr Slater said it was the mayor's insurance policy.
Entertainment value alone counts for few votes from conservative residents of a ward which is a composite of the fastest growing parts of Rodney, Waitakere and North Shore.
"A sideshow is not needed when we face serious issues," said Linda Cooper, a Waitakere City councillor for six years.
We agree with Linda Cooper. The last thing that Albany needs is a sideshow. That's why the voters of Albany and other parts of the North Shore City must be wondering just what they unleashed when they installed Andrew Williams as mayor three years ago.
Vote Slater in Albany!!
