PHOTO: ODT FILESOtago regional councillors will decide tomorrow whether to divide the pay of Cr Bryan Scott among themselves or name someone else to replace him. Because local elections were less than a year away, Cr Scott’s resignation would not trigger a by-election, the council confirmed at the time. It is the second consecutive term in which an Otago regional councillor has resigned. Cr Scott was the second-highest polling Dunedin constituency councillor at the 2022 election, receiving 15,172 votes. Cr Scott was paid about $67,405 a year for his role at the council, Mrs Vercoe said yesterday.
