Mayor reacts

With the Water Futures poll less than a week away, Mayor Di Thorley is hitting out at suggestions she's leaving Toowoomba after the vote and is also receiving bribes.

Over the past few months, there has been the odd whisper about Mayor Thorley's next move - southern States and towns outside Toowoomba have been mentioned.

Should the NO vote succeed on Saturday, Mayor Thorley would have no reason to quit Toowoomba.

And she sits on a decent salary package until the next Council elections in 2008. It would also give her time to plan her next move.

There has also been the odd whisper of financial or other incentives to push ahead with the recycled sewage proposal. Nothing proven to date although it seems reasonable to wonder why she is so obsessed with her project and, for the past year, has in no way wanted to compromise in the face of growing community opposition to her plans ...
