The stark choice facing Auckland voters is becoming clearer.
After weeks of vague populist slogans from C&R with no specific detail, the cat is finally out of the bag. A C&R Council will lead to cuts to community facilities and important programmes that make our city a fair and decent place to live.
Yesterday, C&R leader David Hay strongly suggested that planned swimming pools for Avondale and Otahuhu would be canned if C&R takes over the reigns. This goes hand in hand with the C&R pledge to scrap the affordable housing scheme.
While these initiatives cost money, City Vision strongly believes that our communities deserve good recreational facilities. They serve to bring the community together, and provide a positive opportunity for our young people to engage in healthy exercise.
The message is clear, a vote for C&R will see a return to 1990s style policies, with cuts to the basic services our communities need. Only a vote for City Vision will see continued investment in the wellbeing of our communities.

What about the RAM people? Aren't they more focused on people and the workers than both C&R and CV?
The impression you get about RAM is that most of the people involved are very genuine in their concern for people and workers, as you say.
However, to be frank, their campaign consists of slogans rather than the comprehensive policies needed to actually deliver for people.
City Vision's record of making investments to improve the quality of life of ordinary working Aucklanders is one we will stand by proudly - better public transport, expansion of the rates rebate scheme for fixed income earners, the affordable housing scheme, halving the uniform annual charge (a flat tax that benefits the rich), and investment in community facilities to name just a few.
