Government considering Wellington City Council intervention: Is it really a 'shambles'?

The Government has set its sights on sorting out Wellington City Council. 

After councillors last week voted against a plan to sell shares in Wellington’s airport, the city’s long term plan will need to be re-opened.  

It has prompted Local Government Minister Simeon Brown to seek advice on potential interventions, and he has labeled the situation a ‘shambles’. 

So how bad have things got in the Capital? 

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald Wellington issues reporter and host of On the Tiles Local Edition, Georgina Campbell, is with us to unpack the issues.
