After a long two days, Auckland councillors have finally passed a watered down version of mayor Wayne Brown's annual budget.
A majority has agreed to sell seven percent of the council's 18 percent stake in Auckland airport, a 7.7 percent rates rise and cuts to local boards.
The selldown's been a controversial issue, not least because of the connection and sense of ownership many Aucklanders have to the council's biggest asset.
Reporter Tom Taylor and cameraman Nick Monro went downtown to see if people think their councillors are making the right call.
