Mayor won't talk to the community ...

Comments in the Toowoomba Chronicle today regarding Mayor Thorley's continued absence from Toowoomba to attend water recycling conferences.

CADS say that the conference attendees and speakers are being lobbied so that they are aware of the feeling of opposition among some Toowoomba groups.

There were also questions which should be answered by the Mayor if the community were granted a face-to-face forum.

It is important that people attending the various conferences are not misled by Mayor Thorley's comments.

In the recent past, she has shown her ability of not letting the truth get in the way of her argument that Toowoomba should introduce recycled sewage for drinking.

Raises the question - should an elected official such as the Mayor be a person who continues to ignore the community?

Should the Mayor step down with a by-election held to elect a new Mayor?

A by-election for the position of Mayor would determine whether Toowoomba wants to drink recycled sewage.

It would be a single issue by-election.

And the Mayor could run again if she is confident of the public's support for her proposal.
