Shearer blasts Auckland Council and Brown

Mt Albert MP David Shearer facebooked:

There was a disastrous meeting in my electorate tonight. About 150 people turned up in good to consult on a frankly overdue Mt Albert town-centre upgrade, only to find half the funding had been cut by Auckland Transport.

This is the third time the community has been promised an upgrade but everything up until now has come to zero. What an arrogant of local people's time and money.

Auckland Council has totally lost control of Auckland Transport. This time, the dysfunction showed in public. By the time the meeting ended, half the people had gone home.

At this rate, the mayor and councillors can kiss their jobs goodbye at the next election.

A MP slamming the Council headed by a Labour Party member, and controlled by Councillors.

Some have suggested to me this is part of a campaign to get his mate and neighbouring MP made Mayor, but I think the anger is real.
