Doing more than required

There is no doubt that Debra Wales has contributed a lot to the community over the years, as noted by Jack Galway (Peninsula News, May 14).

My understanding is that as an elected representative to the Council you get paid an allowance regardless of your attendance at meetings or public functions.

During the last State Government election my husband Chris Holstein continued to represent the people of Gosford City as he has been doing since his election 14 years ago.

For someone to now suggest that he receive no salary during this campaign is ridiculous.

Chris always has and will no doubt continue to do more than required to create and maintain a strong sense of community, where we can all be proud to live and raise our families.
