Geoff from Rototuna North

Boycotting, what a bunch of wallies, hardly representing Residents and Ratepayers.

PRESS RELEASE by our Association as follows:-
"Hamilton Residents & Ratepayers Association Incorporated
As a body the Hamilton Residents & Ratepayers Association Inc. (HRRA) objects to all six options proposed for rate rises that address the 10-Year Plan Review. HRRA instead hereby lodge a directive to Hamilton City Council to return to the ‘drawing board’ and try again. The commitment to the previously agreed 2015 plan of 3.8% should be honoured, being more consistent with New Zealand’s projected rate of inflation. In addition, the Council should become more disciplined and learn to live within its means rather than expecting to call upon the ratepayers to finance its excesses which includes the $22 million in interest on present council debt.
HRRA see the present Six Options offered from 9.5% to 16.5% unjustifiable and for this reason alone we have chosen to boycott the 2018 Consultation process."
