Opinion
When some current regional councillors state “I aways vote to keep rates rises at or below the CPI” it could be argued that they’re being somewhat economical with the truth.
Indisputable Fact = By keeping rates deliberately and artificially low by way of running significant deficit budgets ($ 7 million this financial year) you are simply operating under fiscally unsound policies as well as being socially irresponsible. All you are doing is shifting the financial onus and burden onto future ratepayers without actually addressing the real issues which caused the deficit in the first instance.
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
