Democracy set for return in Tauranga - can the city avoid the mistakes of the past?
Manage episode 422256161 series 3318262
It has been nearly five years since the Tauranga City Council was sacked by the Government and replaced with Commissioners, after infighting and dysfunction between councillors and the Mayor.
Now, the council is going to return to "full democracy", and a new Mayor and councillors will vote them in next month. Georgina is joined by Bay of Plenty Times senior journalist Kiri Gillespie to discuss what went wrong in 2020, who is running now, and how people in the city feel about the council's return.
