Opinion

Re: Bridge to nowhere.

Congratulations to whoever spawned this brilliant concept and was able to get it passed at the council table. How did you do it? Were your colleagues asleep? Ah, I know, you put something in their coffee.

Come on councillors, you swallowed it hook, line and sinker. Common sense should tell you this is not the time for frivolities, there are greater needs to be met. Check under a real bridge, ie, Gladstone Road. He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata. Naku noa
