FAIRER RATES Protest March

Papamoa Residents & Ratepayers Association

Ratepayer Protest for Fairer Rates organised by TRA.
When: Monday 26 July 2021
Where: Strand carpark downtown Tauranga

Time: 12.30pm

Parking at Sulphur Point with shuttle bus.

March to Council Chambers, bring something to make lots of noise. Drown out the council meeting ratifying the high rates rises needed for the next Long Term Plan.

Why should the ordinary ratepayer pay for growth when the existing city needs investment in roads and bridges and new amenities? These high rate rises continue every year for the next 10 years.

In 10 years this Long Term Plan it will "Double your rates and triple the city's debt".

LTP = Long Time Poor

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
