"No to Len Lye. No to NPDC"
"what a laugh this process is for submissions when they are ignored"
"this whole thing is scandalous, where else could this happen, make the damn thing user pay."
"Council use your BRAIN & say no to Len Lye."
"This Council is a Motley Crue"
"why don't we use the submission process for electing our council - ignore the actual votes and have 9 of us pick who we want"
"Mayor Tennet is a Snake for ignoring the public."
"No dictatorship, please!!!!!"
"Too expensive. User should pay as per users of other Council Services. Swimming facilities for instance."
"Rate payers should not foot the bill"
"A no confidence call should be made over this regarding the council, this council is not run by a selected group of people, namely the councillors that voted for this, we are humans and of intelligence, and we intelligently say to you, THIS IS NOT WHAT WE"
"This private collection from a man that who is not even a "local" should not be supported by my rates!! I am absolutely disgusted with the council members that did a U turn. You have made a joke of your submission process and yourselves!!!"
"Rates should be used for something majority of ratepayers want/will use."
"I totally approve of this petition. The council should be concentrating on the upkeep of what we have now"
"N.P. has not the population to support this type of exhibition. Also Len Lye is not a Taranakian."
"Len Lye needs a Diamond Cutter."
"dont want to pay for this"
"Only in a country that tells its people what it wants and needs could this happen - I thought there was democracy in this country, but it seems that if councillors ignore submissions then what else can we expect."
"As a rate payer, i do not want to fund this len lye centre, what part of NO dont they understand ,should be user pay's."
"I think that some support of the Arts by NPDC is good but suggest that the current emphasis on 'contempory' art should be moderated."
