Has anyone got a link to reports that the FBI has asked residents in Florida to keep a look out for classified documents in the floodwaters?
..afraid not..
Brian Easton who I respect takes his time utterly slagging the Three Waters entities and the entire politics behind them. He does so without mentioning Maori or co-governance once, and just goes straight to the heart of power.
Three Waters: Yet Again a Centralist Solution is Being Imposed Upon Local Communities — Pundit
Enjoy.
Easton is indeed good but in this instance he is merely stating the obvious….one way or another WE will pay for improved water services (irrespective of model) despite the Govs disingenuity.
fantastic opening sentence.
We all believe in communities having control. But functionally, those communities don't exist, or are at best nascent. With local body election turnouts at 40% or less, provincial Councils (where so many of the issues are) invariably fall into the hands of local business and farming elites. 'Community interest' thus becomes nothing more than elite preferences. If I was in central government, the temptation not to trust these people and look for centralised solutions would be very strong. Agree with Easton on everything except his underlying assumption – that real, functional communities actually already exist.
Dunno if this is for real, but the increase in potholes during covid is a thing, and increasing heavy rain events isn't kind to roads.

In defence of road maintenance.
Given enough traffic and wet weather, a small weakness in a road surface can quickly form a dent which pools water. Water then gets impacted by vehicles tyres and is driven into cracks and forces the pavement to break up, sometime quickly.
Drivers need to learn to read the road ahead. Like a cyclist or motorcyclist has to.
no! They will produce an add for tv that vaguely alludes to tires or potholes….
The photo above is Rosa Parks, who sat on a bus where whites had priority to sit in 1955, was arrested, fined and symbolized. The photo below is Donya Rod who had breakfast in a cafe yesterday and recorded this photo of herself in the history of the fight against female slavery and was arrested.
