What Federal gov’ts decision to trample on municipal powers?
Minister Fraser asked Metro mayors to delay tripling DCC charges on development. A majority of the votes at the Metro Board approved the charges anyway (including for rental developments). That might mean some, or all Metro municipalities don't get Federal Housing Accelerator funds in future, but we don't know the outcome yet. No powerrs were trampled that I can see.
