FUTURE DECIDED

GARY Baildon has told Mayor Tom Tate that he has made a decision about his political future after speculation he would quit before the March 2020 local government elections.

Several council sources confirm the conversation went this way — the veteran councillor, not at all pleased about the line-up at the door for his Surfers Paradise job, calculated there were 10 or so more major council meetings left and he would see out his term.
