Amazing how one bad apple can ruin the whole crop......a case of a big bully having his way for 20yrs and now the people are calling for his head to roll......and guess what.....he has run for cover like all bullies do.....
Go the people of Gore and shame on the weak councilors that allowed that narsicist to operate.....karma wins in the end!!!
Maybe its his “Young Upstart. Know All. “ Attitude That’s the problem. He maybe clever and smart but not so much in Social Skills And Life Skills He should have started off as a councillor and worked his way up Its a wonder he didn’t want the CEO’s job straight away. As most young ones expect these days. Demote him to a first team councillor and let him prove himself
At 23 one suspects the young mayor may well have just had insufficient experience to handle the job and the council , regardless of having been elected by the democratic process , albeit too with a very small majority . The democratic process can only deliver good calibre people IF good calibre people make themselves available and stand for selection / election . The new mayor may have been the best of a group of relatively poor calibre candidates standing for election . The CEO and council may be seeing that . Having been the CEO for 20 years suggests to me the CEO is very experienced and must have done at lea…
Seems to be a trend for local council CEOs to become confused about their role being to serve elected representatives rather than vice versa. The current CEO sounds like a nasty type who should have gone years ago. Having said that, no love lost for Bell who appears to be a co-governance supporter. The situation is messy.

The rest of the council is perfectly entitled to vote against Bell if they don't agree with his proposals. They are not entitled to force him to resign other than if he was unfit to c…
I don’t know if it is the CEO !!!Age and life Skills are a great advantage. But at 23 yrs Young Ben maybe a “know all“ but definitely lacks LIFE SKILLS. One thing in life is to always listen to your elders AND LEARN !!! After five and a bit years the country realised a very young PM was. a WASTE And she finally got the hint 👍👍and quit 👍
From what I understand, the CEO has been in that position in Gore for close on 20 years. Prior to that I believe he was a "Corrections Officer". From reports over the years, he has introduced and overseen a bullying culture. Reports include bullying an accountant, who came from the UK, so badly the person had a breakdown and returned to the UK with his family. Some time later, the CEO reportedly turned up on his doorstep in the UK unannounced and with out invitation ! The CEO was given a new contract by the ex-Mayor just before the local election that saw that ex-Mayor ousted after 18 years in the position; normal and democratic protocol would have had the…

CEO leads bullies? CEO likes to get his own way - for 20 years so far. He needs a boot where there is no sunshine as he leaves.
Gore blimey —- trouble at mill !
