Simon Fanshawe and his pro-executive-mayor cronies need to get their act together.

He accuses No supporters of falling back on abuse (Letters, October 3) but, meanwhile, Councillor Sue John refers to the No camp as a navel-gazing minority.

Enough of this mud-slinging. The electorate needs facts.

Why is the Yes lobby so reluctant to disclose who would be prepared to stand as candidates should the vote go in its favour?

Without this information, voting Yes will be like signing a blank cheque.
