NCC CEO: Wayne Jack

Jo and Jarrod from Tamatea

Yee Ha,
Finally, at last our Napier City Council CEO , Wayne Jack has resigned , who cares at what cost at least this idiot is out the door. What a fantastic way to start the week off . I am ecstatic. The best news I have heard in a while. Good luck to his next employers as they will need it, they better make sure they hide their Facebook posts from this "JOKER".
Hide their open cheque books and monitor him closely as these were failures of the previous Napier City council.
I am jumping for joy and just really cant believe it.
A big thank you to you Wayne Jack for actually resigning as a rate payer I really appreciate it.
Hopefully the "NCC", will be a bit more cautious before employing our next CEO.
