Mayoral candidate chosen

Fraser Coast residents have been given the tip by the Chronicle editor about who they should favour for mayor at tomorrow's historic council election. (P8 March 15)
No surprises there. Mick is her man.

My advice to voters is to take a good hard look at all mayoral candidates. Think carefully, because such a ringing endorsement may come with some strings attached. Nothing is for nothing.  I believe the separation of powers should also apply to the fourth estate.

If the region is to break away from the old ways of doing things, we need a mayor who is independent, honest and owes no favours to anybody or any organisation. 

Choose carefully tomorrow.

Mick Kruger was the only candidate booed at the meet the candidates in Hervey Bay Last night. He slurred his words and continued to take extra time in spite of being told his time was up. The crowd was not amused! Was that reported in the Chronicle?
