“[Cr Everard] has provided a great model for future occupants of this public office,” he said on Facebook.
But why? I’m ambivalent to Darren (nothing personal Darren) but if it’s not broken… So why was it broken? None of the usual comments from Darren about wanting to spend more time with his family. It’s not that there isn’t much transparency- there’s none at all.
