- Local government bodies should cut cost rather than increase land owner’s taxes. “Times are tight and ratepayers just can’t endure unaffordable rate rises”.
- We are not telling you how to do your jobs , but we urge you to think carefully about the capacity of your communities during these difficult financial times.”
- Introducing financial prudence requirements and focus councils on their core roles.
- “These reforms are designed to help keep rates affordable and debt at prudent levels”.
Just sounds so simple at times.
