Mayor was out of order

Gosford mayor Laurie Maher in his official capacity was seen on NBN 3 actively impugning the reputation of members of the community who are going about their legitimate civic business.

This was raised on Monday night at the Gosford Waterfront Action Group meeting.

Many people were not happy that our mayor would conduct himself so badly on our behalf, while presiding over a council which was calling publicly for Peter Freewater to be disciplined for stating what so many ratepayers understand to be obvious, wasting our rate money on expensive junkets.

There is a problem with promotion of massive over-development of the Gosford foreshores.

The mayor, as an elected representative, was certainly out of order attacking members of his community who are legitimately engaged going about their rightful activities as ratepayers.

Our mayor asserted that his constituents were in fact "naysayers" and misleading others.
