No need for that Joel. All "elite" athletes are equally as undeserving of the public purse as each other.

I'm of the opinion that if they can't fund there own way that's an indication no one really cares about their performance. The public shouldn't be forced to subsidise their lifestyle choice.

Plans for a $28.5m velodrome near Cambridge received a boost today as Hamilton city councillors voted 6-5 to support a regional rate for the facility.

Looks like the postal run from Palmy to the Tron has been quite busy.

Nearly 7000 submissions have been received on the Waikato Regional Council's proposal to impose a regional rate so it can contribute $6 million towards the cost of the National Cycling Centre of Excellence to be built around a Cambridge velodrome.
