From Checkpoint, 5:14 pm today

It's a vote of slim to little confidence in both the government's super sized visitor levy and who will benefit from the cash..according to the Mayor of one the country's tourist hot spots. From next month, the international visitors tax will go from $35 to $100 a head. Queenstown Mayor Glyn Lewers told Lisa Owen there's a lack transparency about where exactly the money is going and his district has had next to none.
