This seems relevant when considering a potential Mayor playing their part in managing the organisation's finances.
Figures also show that Mr Banks, who has made a virtue of being frugal with ratepayers' money, has exceeded the mayoral office budget of $570,865 by $41,606 over the past year.
The biggest problem has been temporary staff costs, which jumped from the budget of $10,000 to $88,372, and catering charges, which have gone from $26,006 to $36,691.

And now for some comedy, Paul Henry's impressions of TVNZ viewers' intelligence. Full serving.

Tim, you should publish most of that as a local paper op-ed, if it wouldn't affect your job security. Brilliant.
