Local Democracy Reporter Jonathan Leask joins Kathryn to talk about the $5.6m budget blowout to Ashburton's new library and civic centre - and the pledge by the Mayor that it won't cost ratepayers any more.
Meanwhile talks continue with Waka Kotahi on how to fund a second bridge and voting opens in the district's Western Ward by-election.
