Sam Jennings: Horowhenua district councillor on the proposal to give iwi the first right of refusal on council property sales
A proposal to give iwi first right of refusal on surplus council property sales in Horowhenua is being labelled unfair and divisive.
The policy amendment —brought by a group of councillors— would effectively see iwi offered council property at market value before it's listed publicly.
Horowhenua district councillor Sam Jennings told Mike Hosking he's against it and doesn't like that it's been kept behind closed doors until now.
He doesn't like the idea of inserting privilege into council policy.
The proposal will be voted on tomorrow.
