Capital Letter: Georgina Campbell on Wellington City Council's urgent closed-door meeting

Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau has called an urgent behind-doors council meeting for this afternoon, as the government seeks advice on whether intervention is needed for Wellington City Council.  It comes after the council voted to ditch its plan to sell its 34% stake in Wellington Airport, meaning up to $600m in cuts will now be needed.  NZ Herald's Wellington Issues reporter Georgina Campbell joined Nick Mills to talk through the council's next steps.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
