The process is a good one and is thought out. There are checks and balances to stop a group or majority of councillors in a council playing politics with this if they come from a different party from the mayor. My concern is a bad actor mayor and a cohort of councillors that reaches 26% could block any legitimate reasons for this process to be gone through.
I will withdraw amendment No. 90 but will press No. 91.
