Andrew Little: Wellington mayor on Wellington's new water entity receiving double the board's original pay

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

Concerns have been raised over the new Wellington water entity, as its board members will be paid twice as much as their Wellington Water counterparts. The group's new chair will be paid $110,000 - a higher figure than the $60,000 Wellington Water's previous chair was paid. The entity's CEO will also be paid $645,000 - a higher amount than the previous Wellington Water CEO got. Wellington mayor Andrew Little says this is disappointing news, even if the group has plenty to manage.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
