Council worker in dog dispute quits his job
A Waikato District Council staff member whose dog bit a member of the public has quit.
Since 2001 Dion Gough has managed and lived on the 121.46ha Wainui Reserve in Raglan, but that employment will end next month after an Employment Relations Authority dispute between the two parties.
Mr Gough took a case against the council after it asked him to remove two mastiffs and a rottweiler – named Viking, Monster and Smash – after six alleged attacks by the dogs.
The authority found the dogs were dangerous and sent the groups to mediation to try to find a way the dogs could go and Mr Gough could stay. MORE>>

apparently, they only had one complaint, so you have to wonder what's the real reason for resigning. Sounds like good people leaving for their seats to be filled by incompetents (oops, can I say that?) I could be totally wrong... someone who knows, pls correct me !!
