Wake Up Auckland - The Stadium Debacle

Re: The Stadium Debacle,.
We the rate-paying citizens of Auckland wish to make it clear to the Auckland City Council, the ARC and Central Government, that any loans made available to the Rugby Union for
the construction of stands is by way of a loan and will be looked on as an investment.
We the people of Auckland expect a return on that investments. Our collective rates are not to be used as a slush fund for corporate welfare.
If we are to invest in Eden Park we see ourselves (the citizens of Auckland) as investors and stakeholders in a business and like the airport shares we expect a healthy return on this investment, other wise why spend our collective capital in that way.
Regards
Lisa Prager
Spokesperson for Wake Up Auckland
