if so, Seems he can't imagine the outcome of the headline "CoCT Mayor replaces people with ai". Instead of milking overstretched ratepayers or replacing staff with ai, he should be "living within his means" there simply isn't the money for his pet projects, even if they will do the city good...
On a side note, anybody knows if CoCT/DA/Gordon has recieved any large "donations" recently?
This smells of "lobby'ing" too me.
Another thing, this oke HAS seen the unemployment numbers right? Don't know what he is thinking pushing "labor saving tools" while more than 1 in 3 don't have jobs.
