Mayoral elections in Otago's "heartland" this year have
attracted 14 candidates. The Otago Daily Times today
continues profiling those candidates, reporter Ellie
Constantine putting the questions to Queenstown candidate
Michael Scott.
Queenstown's three mayoral candidates are unimpressed with
the council's projected debt level of more than $400 million
in the next nine years and say a harder line needs to be
taken on spending.
The three mayoral candidates for the Queenstown Lakes
District Council were in a collegial and relaxed mood at
yesterday's public forum jointly hosted by the Wanaka Chamber
of Commerce and the Otago Daily Times.
