John Banks, because we need someone who has the ability to work with the current government to maximise the government\\\'s investment in Auckland. We need someone who can lead prudent fiancial management and someone with experience. I also like John. Granted he can be abrasive at times however pussy footing around won\\\'t get Auckland moving.

I cannot support somone who dips his hands in the ratepayers pocket for personal gain, and for that reason i will not be voting for Len Brown. Worse he has failed to account for that spending as required by council rules, refusing to disclose details. Such a poor record on transparency should actually disqualify him from public office.

I will be voting for John Banks. If he wasn\'t standing then I would support Colin Craig. Unfortunately any vote for anyone other than John Banks is a vote for Len Brown and this city just doesn\'t need a person who could barely run a law firm on his own.
