Former Porirua mayor Mike Tana can't be found
It is official, Porirua has lost its missing former mayor.
Tradition dictates the city honours its mayors at the end of their term with a painted portrait for the council chambers. Missing from the illustrious oil on canvas line-up is Mike Tana.
The city council has tried to contact Tana, who was mayor from 2016 to 2019, without success.
The end of his term was marred by controversy when the council chief executive Wendy Walker contacted police over the suspected inappropriate use of Tana’s petrol card. The action sparked an expensive investigation.
