FOR those unhappy with the rate hikes from the Glenelg Shire Council – local candidates in the upcoming State Election are on your side.

South-West Coast incumbent Liberal MP Roma Britnell and independents Carol Altmann and Michael McCluskey are all vocal in their criticism of council’s actions, while Labor challenger Kylie Gaston is not making her views public, saying she wants to keep her campaign focused on state issues.
