The 4350water Blog highlights some of the issues relating to proposals for potable reuse in Toowoomba and South East Qld. 4350water blog looks at related political issues as well.
Although his choice of campaign manager pretty much gives it away, see if you can spot the outgoing Mayor's preferred candidate for Mayor at the Toowoomba Regional Council 2008 election:

For many years, the 4350water blog has informed readers of plans by the Toowoomba City Council (now Toowoomba Regional Council) and the Qld government to introduce recycled water for drinking in Toowoomba. It has also looked at the issue from a State and Federal perspective and dealt with related State and Federal political issues. There continues to be a need for the Toowoomba Regional Council to be completely transparent in its dealings with the ratepayers and residents of Toowoomba. There also continues to be a need for open debate on the benefits and risks of potable reuse and long-term studies on the effects on humans of drinking recycled water. Coal seam gas water is emerging as a possible alternate water source for some uses for the region. The 4350water blog is a collective effort and thanks go to its many contributors.

Jones was the preferred candidate for the chair of the amalgamation committee. Thorley lost that round too.
Taylor lobbied the unions more and just scrapped over the line in a 10-9 win.
Thorley's reasoning is to try and split the No campaign vote between Manners and Taylor and that way see Jones scrap in.
That would make sense if Taylor is strong supporter for the opposition to adding recycled sewage water to the dams - but who knows?

Ian Jones had the support of the unions at the vote for regional chair . Peter Taylor won 10 9 with the support of councils .

Unfortunately many of the population are too apathetic to make strong enquiries regarding the candidates at any election and it would be better if they did not have a vote at all. Dodgy candidates relky on this.

Thorley relied on union support to get elected. Looks like history trying to repeat itself.
