Friday Faceoff: Julie Anne Genter and John Apanowicz talk $550k bike rack, tourist levy and business closures

The Wellington City Council has dropped $550,000 to install a bike rack on a lane off The Terrace - is this responsible spending?  That was the big question for the Friday Faceoff panel this week, with Rongotai MP and Green transport spokeswoman Julie Anne Genter, and Wellington City Councillor John Apanowicz.  Also on the agenda was the tourist levy, more business closures in Wellington, and the couple who found $230k in their ceiling.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
