Not Looking Good For Stadium

The submissions to the Otago Regional Council have been 12 to 1 against funding the proposed new Carisbrook Stadium, reports the Otago Daily Times.
‘I’m not sure we can . . . ignore a 12 to one ratio, no matter what the long-term benefits may be’’ said Hearing panel member Cr Michael Deaker. His previous ‘‘fervent’’ support for the stadium was becoming ‘‘very wobbly indeed’’. Regional council chairman Stephen Cairns said there was a real possibility the council could say ‘‘no’’ to the funding.
