Lost or Stolen Bike Helmet
Friday the 14th of September I biked all the way from Otumoetai to Tauranga Crossing & had my bike chained up outside the Coffee Club by Pak n Save, & the last thing I remember is as I unchained my bike I left my girls pink & white helmet with flowers on it on the ground as I packed my saddle bags with groceries & must of forgotten to put my helmet on & in retracing my steps must of left it there. I've contacted the management @ the crossing & inquired @ the Coffee Club & Pak n Save with no helmet in sight, so it is obvious to me someone picked it up & took it home with them, & I would appreciate it back as it is one of a kind & I am on a benefit & affording a new one that fits is proving difficult. (One bike helmet returned safely home after 9 days)

Unelected commissioners recommend they stay in power
Interesting responses to my post. Two in particular piqued my interest. Suzanne Williams and her comments about whinging about everything-Suzanne it is not about whinging. It is more about raising concerns about an undemocratic regime forced on us and then seeing the commissioners wanting to keep their sinecure. Greg Reardon "I vote to keep the commissioners"-Greg the point is that you do not have a vote. Look I get it-democracy is imperfect. Some of our previously elected councillors were rubbish-ego driven and feeding from the trough (not unlike our commissioners). But it is what we have got. It is better to have an imperfect democracy than an unelected and unaccountable cartel of commissioners who say "we know what is good for you".
