Two candidates lead race for the mayoralty
The voting record does not lie
Eleven of the 14 elected representatives on the WDC are seeking re-election. We are astounded by the disconnect between the election promises being made by some candidates and their voting record. Actions speak louder than election waffle, so LETTERBOX has tabulated the way the mayor and councillors have voted on critical decisions.
Q & A with Mayor Cocurullo
This is the latest in a series of
interviews with candidates standing in the local body elections. Thank you to
everyone who sent in questions for WDC Mayor Vince Cocurullo.
Q
& A with Mayor Vince Cocurullo
Letterbox
question (Q): What do you consider to be your greatest achievement in your
three years as Mayor?
Mayor Cocurullo's answer (A): Bringing all of Northland’s councils together as a unified region. That has given us strength when lobbying central government on critical infrastructure. The fast-tracking of the four-lane highway to Auckland and the Whangarei hospital are good examples of the gains we have made.
