Hamilton City Councillor questions $70,000 spent on te reo Māori app amid 19.9% rate rise potential.
Hamilton City Councillor Geoff Taylor questions $70,000 spending on te reo Māori app for staff as ratepayers face a 19.9% rate rise, with a potential 80% increase over five years. Taylor calls for scrutiny of "pet projects" and suggests the money could have been used for housing development or offsetting existing costs. The app, designed to help staff learn te reo, will be launched this month and was funded by the city council.
