Wayne Brown thinks Auckland is his… and is crying a river of tears that the Government won’t pay for “his” projects. Well, Wayne, if it’s your city, then stop bludging off central government for funding. Fund the projects yourself… oh wait!
Wayne Brown said the Government had been advised there would be about $350 million of unspent money held in reserve when the scheme ends on July 1.
Speaking to Newstalk ZB’s Heather du Plessis-Allan on Thursday evening, Brown said there is enough money at the moment to finish the next stage of the Eastern Busway and fund the purchase of electric rail units for the City Rail Link (CRL), but that’s it.
“We want to decide what goes in Auckland. This is my city, not theirs,” he said.
