Poll: Rates hole - how should Hamilton City Council deal with it?

Matt Bowen Reporter from Waikato Times

Mayor Andrew King has floated a 16.5% rates rise, saying it's time to bite the bullet and get the city's books in shape. Not doing so is the equivalent of putting our heads in the sand, he said.

So, what do you think the council should do?

NOTE: The fourth option, originally "Keep their heads in the sand", has been reworded to a more neutral tone. There were 51 votes at that time.
