Morning neighbours,
Here we put the spotlight on Bob Simcock's legacy in public roles in Hamilton and the costs of decisions he played a key role in.
The story shows what's at stake as voting closes this week in local government elections.
That's one of the questions put to five of Hamilton's mayoral hopefuls during a Tuesday night debate.

What do you think? Should Hamilton City Council amalgamate with its neighbouring councils?

The Shaws are holding out against a council plan to put a road through a bird sanctuary on their property for a subdivision are hoping thousands of people tie themselves to trees along the route to stall the roadworks.
Seven Sharp reports Murray and Margaret Shaw have created a sanctuary for birds that's free for the public to enjoy. And they don't want to sell.
The couple reckon they've planted 3500 trees so far, which Mr Shaw said has cost "hundreds of thousands" of dollars.
But Hamilton City Council has decided the Shaws' property is perfect for a through-road for The Peacocks subdivision.
The proposed road will go across a nearby gully before continuing on through the bird park.
"That was the optimal route through to achieve the connections that need to be achieved," said Richard Briggs of the council.
