Marine precinct users in Tauranga say they feel misled by the mayor Mahe Drysdale. In a meeting in October last year, Mr Drysdale told commercial boat users that the sale of the land was a 'shit deal' and that if the current council could get out of it they would. Precinct users say that with an injunction before the courts the council has a chance to do just that. Libby Kirkby-McLeod reports.
