Yes it is sad that many voting packages have not been returned to date the Bickley ward has received 4005 votes, the Canning Vale ward has received 5138 and the Gosnells ward has received 3748.
I am running for election in the Bickley ward and the amount of comments that have been passed on to me by the ratepayers is not very encouraging. Many are totally dismayed at the number of trips that are being taken un-necessarily.
I am happy to listen to any one just call me on 0419 520 190 or email me at s.baraiolo@gmail.com
... this was a comment posted on my post about very view voting packages being returned this election, the reference to the number of trips I believe is referring to the trips that Councilors take to Conferences and such, if you question the council about these they will tell you that the money comes out of the budgeted amount for councilor training and conferences, it is wise to note that many staff attend these events to, and most are essential to build a bigger and better council, again the growth issue .... - Peter Evans

From a recent comment ...
G'day Peter,
For what it's worth, my wife and I will both be voting for you (the first council election I ever actually voted in).
I think you'll have a hard fight unseating anyone (as is always the case) but I like your style - the blog and web access is something I can relate to.
It is a running joke with my friends how bad this council is - you only have to go down the road into the "other" area of Canning Vale to see the difference.
Hopefully you can do something about this sham of a council. They get money for nothing. Worst council I've ever lived in. They get good money and do nothing with it. - Anonymous
... Yes I probably don't have much chance against the other candidates, but my aim is to get my view out there, as is my democratic right, I'm not posting out flyers, or advertising, because I don't have the money, I'm not a well known business man in the area, I'm a battler like most of us, trying to pay my mortgage and keep my kids fed, I don't have any other financial interest in the area other than my family home which is mortgaged, and I wont vote for something, just so the other councilors can go home early, I will encourage discussion and will not stand for being forced to vote for the benefit of others ...
