I am appalled by Council's decision to censure Councillor Karen Renkema-Lang based on her comments during the 10-minute radio interview attached to today’s article by Brendon Foye. 

I am sure the technicalities of the censure would be supported by some bureaucratic mumbo jumbo but I would question why any paid member of council's staff would spend their time and our money when real world issues needing solutions are buried on their desks. 

Then again, isn't that why Council is in the state that it is in. All show! To compare Karen's very measured and thoughtful comments against some that I, and others I speak to privately hold about council would, by these standards, see us all held in detention awaiting extradition to another council area.
