Deputy Mayor Ramia sees red over opposition to recycled water plans ...

Toowoomba Deputy Mayor Joe Ramia was not happy during the Council meetings on 6-7 December.

The Chronicle made the following comments regarding his position on opposition to the Mayor's controversial recycled sewage proposal:

Water portfolio chair Cr Joe Ramia saw red.

"I'm sick and tired of the disunity and I'm not going to mention anyone, the people who all of sudden become real experts — give them a calculator, they can do in one minute what it's taken engineers years to learn.

"I've had it up to my back teeth and I'm sick and tired of the innuendo that has gone on about every staff member who has spent countless hours working out figures — and Lyle, I'll tell you now, if the hat fits wear it," he said.

Cr Ramia wants everyone to get on with the job they are paid to do.

"As a council we've got to stick together and be united and keep supplying information to the community how we re going to get through this drought," he said.

Cr Ramia sees council's role as ensuring the city doesn't run dry.
