Former Tauranga City councillor John Robson will be making good on his 2013 election promise to give back a percentage of his council salary if he failed to be re-elected. "He seemed comfortable with that," Mr Robson said. Mr Robson was elected to the council in 2013 and this year ran for mayor and an At Large seat. He was eighth in the mayoral races with 1359 votes and eighth in the At Large ward with 6856 votes. Mr Robson said he had a house to finish and would be able to help out with the care of his disabled son more.
