Do you want a McDonalds in Tecoma? Leader Newspapers by Kimberley Seedy 6 April 2011 . ................................................................................................................... Readers might wonder why I haven't expressed a view about McDonalds in this article (or anywhere for that matter). Given there might be an application before council, Councillors must give a fair and open hearing to both objectors and applicant. To make a judgement before considering all matters is considered to be an "apprehension of bias". Councillors must come to the table with an impartial mind, to be even handed and not have a predetermined fixed view on an application.
