Cr Chris Milne told to apologise
Hutt City Councillor Chris Milne will be required to make a public apology and pay $16,500 in legal costs over claims he tried to influence a decision regarding tennis.
An independent investigation found that Milne attempted to influence council staff to sell tennis court land in a way which would benefit Hutt Valley Tennis. Milne’s wife is the president of the tennis association.
In a separate complaint, Milne was found to have inappropriately contacted a general manager from Waste Management Ltd while the council’s waste and recycling tender process was still active.
A furious Milne told his colleagues the investigation was a “political hit job” and he refused to apologise.
