Re: ‘No savings to be made from amalgamation' (The Weekend Sun, April 8).

I totally agree with M Murray-Benge about amalgamation suggested by mayor Garry Weber. He is out of line and should keep his nose in his own trough, especially when he said he was not going to join the Three Waters failure, and then did…He has done the right thing about not standing again for mayor. We don't need his type at all and when he goes it would be great for him to drag along some others from our council's permanently, to stop retarded decisions being made for ratepayers to pick up the tab.
