From Checkpoint, 4:40 pm today

The proposed closure of two large North Island mills is already hurting the local economy in Raetihi, with people moving away and local businesses feeling the pinch. The forest products company Winstone Pulp International is looking at closing its entire operation due to high wholesale power prices, which will result in 230 jobs lost, Alexa Cook reports.
