Peter Fraser speaking at last nights meeting.
A meeting in Waipawa last night wound up with a whiteboard full of questions about the Ruataniwha dam and a promise they would be passed on to Hawke's Bay Regional Investment Company to be answered.
About 100 people attended the meeting at the CHB Municipal Theatre, organised by lobby group
Transparent Hawke's Bay, to discuss the the proposed Central Hawke's Bay water storage scheme.
THB chairwoman Pauline Elliott said the group had been working to get an understanding of the economics of the project. "That understanding has been, and still is, very difficult to get a handle on," she told the meeting.
With HBRIC, the Hawke's Bay Regional Council's investment arm and the promoter of the Ruataniwha team, not in attendance last night, the questions from the floor and from invited speakers about the scheme were left to mount up.
Regional council communications manager Drew Broadley was at the meeting, but answered only one question.
