This is the personal blog of Ian Ker, who was Councillor for the South Ward of the Town of Vincent from 1995 to 2009. I have been a resident of this area since 1985. This blog was originally conceived as a way of letting residents of Vincent know what I have been doing and sharing thoughts on important issues. I can now use it to sound off about things that concern me.

If you want to contact me, my e-mail is still ian_ker@hotmail.com or post a comment on this blog.

Too Little, Too Late

First mooted publicly at the Annual Meeting of Vincent Electors on 3rd February 2014. Now we are advised, in rather leisurely fashion (I only received notification indirectly), that there will be a 'Town Hall Meeting' five weeks later - just four days before submissions to the Local Government Advisory Board close.

This gives very little opportunity to generate more submissions to the LGAB, so the City of Vincent is, for the second time (the first being the 'One-In, All-In' campaign that didn't recognise any possibility of keeping Vincent as it was) throwing in the towel.

Yes, of course, if there is a merger it should be an equal one - but don't start off by effectively conceding that there will be a merger.

But it will be too late, anyway. As mentioned in the preceding post on this blog, I believe it is highly likely that Homer Simpson will put Commissioners in to run the City of Vincent - and, after the sacking of the CEO, he will do so sooner rather than later.
