Greens win on specials

The Post reports:

Green candidate Geordie Rogers has won the council by-election, ahead of his rival candidate Karl Tiefenbacher by just 45 votes.

The final results of the Wellington City Council’s Pukehīnau/Lambton General Ward by-election were announced today. The results showed Rogers ahead by 45 votes, with 4147 votes to Tiefenbacher’s 4102.

Congratulations to Rogers. Hopefully he will vote sensibly and prioritise pools and libraries over corporate welfare to Reading Cinemas.
