- CHB Council has just reviewed its spending plans for improving the district’s water infrastructure, deferring some projects considerably. Do you support this approach even if it delays important improvements?
- Name 2-3 specific CHBDC projects, policies or spends over the past three years with which you personally disagree.
- Do you support construction of the ‘new’ Ruataniwha Dam? Do you believe Council should invest ratepayer funds in it?
- CHB seems on its way to becoming Hawke’s Bay’s solar capital. Do you support that development?
- Do you believe councils’ rates should be ‘capped’ by legislation?
- Do you personally support retaining Māori seats at your council table?
- Does Hawke’s Bay need five councils, or do you support amalgamation, in any form?
- Would you support Councils appointing an independent “Hawke’s Bay Auditor General” to monitor councils’ spending and programme performance?
