A $1,343 joke

I am not sure that ratepayers in North Shore will be happy that Mayor Andrew Williams spent $1,343 of ratepayer money on 72 bottles of a “Stop Banks” wine label. That is an expensive joke.

It is also highly inappropriate for the ratepayers of North Shore to be funding what is basically a political campaign by Williams against Banks. Kudos to Whale Oil who broke this story. Whale has filed further OIA requests which may prove interesting. The Council said it would cost $480 to respond to his OIAs, but readers have already donated that amount. The power of the masses.
