Today on the Local Government News Roundup, three municipal monitors to be installed at Victorian Councils… some reaction to the announcement coming up; a new executive director takes the reins at Local Government Victoria; dog baiting concerns in a Melbourne council area; an ICAC inquiry to probe allegations about a NSW Mayor; a council culture exposed in the WA state parliament, and the minister speaks out; industrial action at a NSW council – and the mayor who’s getting set to spend his Easter paddling for charity.
