Why I'm standing

I stood for accountability and was shocked at how bad it was. I challenged the CEO and changed many ways of operation failing to follow legal process. I empowered other councillors who previously had not.

About me

I have served on national and local professional and sports bodies boards and been president of many of those bodies.

My priorities
  1. Continue with having the council being accountable and finish what I started. See garygotlieb.com.
  2. Make sure that council meetings are in the open so the public is fully informed.
  3. Assist new councillors. There is so much law that it is hard to follow for even existing councillors
