Where did they go?

[threemonkeys]

Just got the Lower Hutt local body voting pack. What the heck has happened? The number of candidates for the mayoralty, council and various boards is less than half of what it was last time. Less than a third in some cases. And to judge by the candidate information, the ones that are there are a bunch of insipid time servers. Has the mess in Auckland scared them all away?

I guess I better work out who are the least worst candidates, even if only to try and oust the current idiot in the mayoral chair. Sigh.
