Cr Bill Faulkner again tells us that Route K will be taken over by central government, this is what they told us 2006, the truth is the same as it was then, that they are looking at it but until it shows its paying its way , they will not be taking Route K over, so does Bill know some thing are local M.P. does not? Why does he tell us just what he does know, and how much will the debt be by the take over? Or is this just like 2006,pulling the wool over ratepayers' eyes, for another 5 years, all we ask for is the truth, we know it's a dog but how much will it cost us to put it down?

MP Bridges responds:
A decision about whether or not NZTA should take over Route K is a decision for the Board of NZTA. Board decisions are made independent of central Government. To the best of my knowledge no decision has yet been taken by the Board about whether or not to take over Route K.
