What do you think of the Wellington Region's Western Corridor Transportation Study ? Will this lead our beloved Regional Council to make up their mind about something or will they prevaricate once again as the choice is a difficult one. Sure thing ! But being a politician is about making choices on behalf of one's electorate and many times such choices are hard ones.
As an aspiring national politician let me state clearly what I believe- we need Transmission Gully and we need a few other improvements such as the Granada Petone Link route and double tracking the railway to Paraparaumu. At this stage we should not be overly concerned about cost and who will pay- another 5-10c/litre on fuel in 2015 when fuel may cost some $2-3/litre will be insignificant. I remember that Marsden Point Oil Refinery Expansion was paid for in 6 years by a 16c/litre surcharge on petrol alone, but did the tax ever come off- of course not !
So Mr McDavitt and friends pull out your finger and make the bold decision we all need- if not then resign.
