Comments on: Very Worrying Signs for Fraser Coast Regional Council http://www.herveybaygossip.com/2010/02/01/very-worrying-signs-for-fraser-coast-regional-council/ All the local Hervey Bay news without the sticky fingers Sun, 05 Feb 2012 01:01:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Jonangel http://www.herveybaygossip.com/2010/02/01/very-worrying-signs-for-fraser-coast-regional-council/comment-page-1/#comment-8886 Jonangel Tue, 02 Feb 2010 01:42:48 +0000 http://www.herveybaygossip.com/2010/02/01/very-worrying-signs-for-fraser-coast-regional-council/#comment-8886 The only "worrying signs for the Fraser Coast" is the fact that 10 or 12 years of public complacency has finally caught up with us. This council is little better or worse than preceeding councils, the big difference is the financial climate. There is an old saying that "a stitch in time saves nine". Past councils have ignored this, as have the electorate, we have let things slide and now we are on the slippery slope of our own making. The cynic in me suggest the next 5 to 10 years are going to be rough and whingeing is not going to help.
