LETTERS

From page 6 coverage to emerge from the developing saga of matters local body. We in the Owhango community have always been slightly flattered to find ourselves included in the boundaries of your Waimarino circulation. N o w a s the amalgamation agenda slowly unfolds and the chickens come home to roost, we discover in your columns we have more and more in common with the people of the Waimarino. We too are part of the minority in the Ruapehu District. We too, because of past efficiencies, are being forced to pay massive increases in rates in support of the wasteful majority. We too feel that loss of community indentity and direct control over our destiny. In the coming struggle for fairness and equity, I suggest we could become useful allies. Not that out resources would add much firepower to the Waimarino, but perhaps you could send us up some of your shorter barrelled Bofor's guns which gainfully deployed from this range could flatten a few well deserving targets.
