Well what’s new on the LG front? EWR
Wasn’t leadership among the attributes claimed by the Mayor of Wellington while campaigning for the job before the local body elections last year?
We thought so – until we heard he had been despatched (or despatched himself) to a leadership course near Queenstown.
The news was reported by Stuff:
Wellington ratepayers are forking out $20,000 for the mayor’s leadership programme at a luxury resort.
Multiple sources have confirmed to Stuff that Wellington Mayor Andy Foster was away on a six-day leadership retreat at Millbrook Resort in Arrowtown, north of Queenstown.
We can only wonder what they taught him, because the next thing we learn from the Wellington city council is that rates could be raised by 9.2%.
This is being contemplated at a time when coronavirus is taking a heavy toll on local households and businesses.
