It’s no secret. Politicians are bought every day and no one even tries to deny that anymore, not even other politicians.
Many people surrounding the Minto debate are mumbling unkindly about the break-away Wellington council members. They had many meetings, heard from numerous local witnesses and collected tons of data. After very long discussions, they suddenly decided to break away to have more investigations. They claimed the generic, empty, protect-my-butt excuse all politicians use when trying to debunk, delay or quash an agenda, namely that more research is needed. They say they are “serving the community.”
The mumblings claim that’s true if you’re the minority big-corporation money lords at Minto and not the majority of citizens who actually live here. So, We, the People, simply want these break-away public servants to answer one question: What’s in your wallet?
