End to marketing unit call rejected
"I talked to myself about this in the mayor' s office some time ago and pretended he was listening," was one of the eyebrow-raising quotes to be pulled out of submissions to the Ruapehu District Council annual plan, heard recently. Taumarunui resident, D Grattan, was calling for the scrapping of the council's marketing unit. He claimed that the $150,000 budget did nothing for him and that the money would be better directed to rates remissions to sports clubs that bring visitors to the area. The council rejected Mr Grattan' s plea, choosing instead to "endorse its on-going commitment to marketing the district through the marketing unit".
