John Law (New Zealand)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Law is a politician and mayor of the Rodney District Council, New Zealand. He is one of the five mayors heading the main local government entities generally considered as making up the Auckland metropolitan area (Auckland City, Manukau City, Waitakere City, North Shore City, Rodney District), with his district being the smallest and northernmost entity.
He is one of the proponents of greater regional integration between the various cities.[1] One of the plans that he mooted together with the other affected mayors called for an Auckland Super-City with unified city government and a unified Council rates system, as well as an abolishment of the Auckland Regional Council (ARC). However, the plan was widely criticised for not promising increased financial efficiency[2] and later discarded.
