Outgoing Mayor flees Toowoomba - leaves mess for others to fix ...
Without doubt, the most controversial and divisive Mayor in Toowoomba's history.
She's almost gone.
Excerpt from the Chronicle:
15 January 2008
The view from her Lady Franklin Hotel, in Tasmania, is the wide expanse of water, the Huon River.
A sprinkler recklessly splashed water on the sports oval across the highway between the pub and the river.
It's a long way away from that ugly recycled water vote, Toowoomba's dwindling water supplies, and the political games.
See - Outgoing Mayor soon to be forgotten.
Word on the street is that several of the outgoing Mayor's closest supporters on the Yes campaign were not told she was leaving Toowoomba and had to find out from No voters. They were shocked that she would seek their support for her campaign and then desert them.
For many many people in Toowoomba, the end of the February Council meetings and her final departure from Toowoomba cannot come soon enough ...

While Toowoomba's dams are around 11%, there is still plenty of bore water and due to the complete incompetence of the council it still hasn't tapped into the GAB water. Council seems to be more interested in finding coal for Acland than water for its residents!

Why don't she leave now and not hang around to help plan her own secret farewell party at the Empire.
This is the worst kept secret in town.
Prof. Swanell would do better to put his efforts into something more suitable for this city using the Empire Theatre facilities.
Of all of our other Mayors who left office which one got a send off?
She has done nothing to warrant these accolades.

It's desperation - trying to give the impresson that she was liked by the people in Toowoomba. There'll be buckets of tears at this one you can bet on that. The bigger party will be the one held after she goes!
