IT'S TIME TO GET IT FIXED
This September, voters in the Bega Valley Shire have a fantastic opportunity to stop the massive rate increases, careless waste, and project losses by electing a Mayor with leadership and board level experience. For the first time, voters will not only elect the councillors but elect the Mayor. David Porter is the one candidate with the experience in board level leadership, quality management, and corporate culture to drive the change needed in our council.
