1408762 2015-09-22 23:21:00 So all this talk of ChCh council being in the financial crapper with rebuild costs & debt must be BS
Its good to see that Welly & ChCh councils arent running at a loss & therefore have so much spare cash they can spend up

$1/2Mill on 2 sculptures & $10M+++ on panda's . I heard that just the food bill for the pandas will be $100K per year
Noting that they wont make money on the panda's, as they have been a major money pit/money loser for other bigger cities that LEASED them of the Chinese

oh well, council spending doesnt seem to matter since its other peoples money
just borrow some more & let the next generation pay it off I guess .

If you are that keen to see a Panda go to China and see them.
Maybe volunteers in Panda suits would be more economical :)

And as for bamboo...there is actually stacks of the stuff all over Auckland.....
maybe just let the pandas out in the Waitakeres and they can eat it all...
