Poll: Who would you pick as your deputy, if you were Hamilton's mayor?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A new chapter is about to be written in the history of Hamilton’s leadership, but three of the city’s former mayors have some strong views on what the words should say.

And Paula Southgate, Andrew King and Margaret Evans are also divided on whether incoming mayor Tim Macindoe should appoint Geoff Taylor or Sarah Thomson to be his deputy.

Who would you pick? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
