Poll: Should Hamilton City Council shrink the number of councillors?
A political bunfight is brewing over moves to cut councillor numbers on Hamilton City Council.
Potential mayoral candidate Tim Macindoe, supported by four others, has asked Thursday’s meeting to agree to a representation report that covers replacing the current east-west split with one city-wide ward.
It also seeks consideration of cutting representative numbers from 15 - including 12 general councillors spread over two wards, two Māori ward representatives and the mayor - to 11.

Pulse Energy
Back in January, Pulse had a big sales blitz, offering cheaper power. However, my accounts have been more than my previous supplier, Frank Energy. My last account, about $50 more. I have been having an ongoing debate with them. Who else, has been having this problem?
