The commissioners have been a disaster! Their Long-Term Plan (LTP) will destroy the character and bankrupt Tauranga. This election is between those candidates who support the LTP and those who don't.
Come and to Garth Mathieson & John Robson tell the facts and what you need to do to save our city. This will be the most important meeting you will attend. NOT TO BE MISSED.
Consider ... Why have the commissioners committed to spend over $1 Billion dollars on the Te Papa Ward and little on any others. But all ratepayers in the other 7 wards will pay for the developments.
Thursday 20th June at 6.30pm at the Atrium 252 Otumoetai Rd - Saturday 22nd June at 5.15pm at Bethlehem Hall 239 St Hwy 2 - Sunday 23 June at Club Mount 45 Kawaka St Mount Maunganui.
