#BHN National explain their 3 waters ideas...still say nothing | Trump's 'oopsie' with train safety

The National Party have outlined their proposal for what they would do with the '3 waters' legislation. Simon Watts was on Q&A in the weekend and used lots of words but didn't really say anything...other than "let's get rid of co-governance". There was also a lot of new ideas that seem to be quite controlling of local councils telling them what they can, and cannot, do which is weird as they have been telling us for 12 months that Labour is being too controlling of local councils.                                                   We have a look at part of the conversation between two Mayors after the National Party announcement and what they think will come of this. There does seem to be a mixed message where National tells us rates won't go up, yet councils need tens of millions of dollars for upgrades...so where's the money coming from and if its debt...who's servicing that debt and if it's ratepayers...how's that any different from paying up front.                               Even Fox News is at the stage where they are both blaming Biden for the train derailment in Ohio...whilst also having to acknowledge that Trump repealed regulations that would have forced the same train to get better brakes.   Come support the work we're doing by becoming a Patron of #BHN https://www.patreon.com/BigHairyNews    Like us on Facebook www.facebook.com/BigHairyNews    Follow us on Twitter  @patbrittenden   @Chewie_NZ
