Description

The Wellington City Council has cut roughly $400m worth of projects from its long-term plan - a decision necessitated by the vote to keep its stake in Wellington Airport. Begonia House looks set to be demolished and the Golden Mile redevelopment is set to continue as planned. How did councillors come to their decision? Also, Wellington mayor Tory Whanau has seemingly softened her language when asked by Nick whether she plans to run for a second term as Mayor - will she run again? NZ Herald Wellington issues reporter Georgina Campbell joined Nick Mills for the Capital Letter. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
