Ready to begin a new year and it is hot, hot, hot! It feels like one of the old summers we used to get here in Albury.
On a personal note I am back on my bike and slowly building up my fitness after the little health scare last year and am enjoying the break and hot weather to laze around and read. Just finished the 2012 Book of Australian Science Writing - perhaps it should be compulsory for various radio commentators and others who have such strong opinions but little knowledge about many things.
We are having a break from Council and we resume on the 29th of January for what will be the most important meeting of the 4 year term. We get to choose the new General Manager for Albury City!
The petition about the Art Gallery is interesting. I am encountering a lot of resistance when asking people to sign. People think they are endorsing the redevelopment and the Council contribution of $7 million. I explain that it is only asking the NSW Government to help fund the project but there is certainly resistance.
I support the redevelopment but I am not happy with the way Council has gone about it. WIth 4 independently elected councillors, you would think that the mood for change would be well understood. Unfortunately I don't get that feeling at all.
