Poll: Is Crankworx worth the council funding?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Rotorua News

Hi neighbours,
So the Crankworx mountain bike festival is currently on in Rotorua.
Rotorua Lakes Council last year announced that it would provide $75,000 a year for Crankworx Rotorua for the next five years saying the event boosted the local economy by at least $8 million.
So we want to know what you think of this.
Do you think the council should be spending rate payers money on events like Crankworx?
