Council board members paid $120 an hour
Hi neighbours,
My name is Christina Persico and I am the New Plymouth District Council reporter for the Taranaki Daily News. I was at a meeting yesterday and the councillors were discussing how much they should pay the people who sit on the boards for council-owned companies. It comes to the equivalent of about $120 an hour for the airport board.
What do you think about this? Have a read of the story (read more link below) and send us a letter to the editor: email editor@dailynews.co.nz.
And let me know your council concerns: christina.persico@stuff.co.nz.
Have a good one :)
