Year 2000 elections the sitting Mayor was Reece Jennings. Barry Blackwell convinced a former member of state parliament to run for mayor JohnTrainer.Considering the Local Government Assoc. is currently looking at amending the local Government act regarding conditions to allow you to run as a candidate in local
Government.Many people in the past have been elected in local government then run as a candidate for a political party. However due to the structure in state politics and local government a mayor may use the same method in local government.Local government is a part time involvement. many may stay to long in local government.There is no political parties in local government.However Mayor Trainer was a member of the right wing of the South Australia Labor Party.
one practice which is of concern is the use of political parties computer base to get candidates elected.Thishas happened in the City of Onkapringa and City of Charles Sturt. May be Mayor trainer would like to take these issuses up with the local Government Assoc.
