Profile on Brown

The HoS does a profile of Len Brown. An interesting extract:

But does that make Brown's a ‘grey man'? Just a blank face that people are seeing what they want in?

McCarten: “Yes, and that's working for him.”

Meanwhile the SST reveals that Brown has been charging his family groceries to his mayoral credit card:

Supercity front-runner Len Brown is the latest mayor to be caught zapping his council credit card on personal purchases – such as $74.45 for repellent at a South pharmacy.

Brown has used his card to buy groceries from Foodtown, take his wife to Auckland's Rendezvous Hotel and buy a stereo system from Dick Smith Electronics. The personal expenditure totalling $579.27 has now been refunded to Manakau City Council, where Brown has been mayor since 2007.

is just totally unacceptable. A Mayor gets paid well over $100,000 and should have his or her own credit card for personal purchases. The mayoral credit card should only be used for work related expenses.
