I for one would like to thank Frana Cardino for her work as our Southland Mayor, she was a Later Day pioneer.
I can appreciate her unsung efforts helping build Te Anau from Scratch and all on a shoestring.
She was a great Figurehead for the Council because she was always there when the community put something on.
And she listened to everyone’s opinions even if they where in conflict to the council she represented. And she enabled her people, albeit with her one vote.
As for Mistakes and failures, well lets just say some Mayors are great Multi Taskers and some build a just and prosperous community, we can only hope that our next Mayor has some of those skills Our Frana brought to the job.
It is good She encourages Fiordland people to stand for local election. but from personal experience, do not try it if your are Colorful Dynamic or Creative...
Like Tim Shadbolt once said the job is really about digging holes and throwing money in them.
