Mayor Thorley - stop frightening the horses ...

Mayor Thorley, know for her oddities ("you can bet your sweet bippy on that" and "F--- them I will do what I f---ing well like in my city" ), let loose with another yesterday.

Quoted in the Chronicle this morning, the Mayor said:

"The challenge is for us to use our minds and to stop going to a place where we are going to frighten the horses."

Where exactly is that place?

An interesting statement that will no doubt be analysed by psychiatrists for years as they try to understand her rationale for continuing with her controversial recycled sewage project in the face of overwhelming opposition.

That sound you hear is the sound of laughter from the Council workers amused at her latest muttering ...

Mayor Thorley - "I would hope they would actually step up to the plank ...".

Don't you step up to the plate - to hit a home run?

Don't you step up to the plank because you are about to be made to walk it?

Is the Mayor trying to tell us something?

Mayor Thorley said - "We've all been struggling with different misinformation that has been used to put a community in fear."

Was she talking about her Council's misinformation campaign?

The only fear campaign has been the Council's - the dams will run out of water by Christmas - there are no other options etc. etc.

It's outrageous that the Mayor still clings to her statements that there are no other options when Beattie and Springborg are actively looking at the options.
