Tauranga Council-private cocktail party

Pat from Welcome Bay

So-here is the latest news. The Council is to host a private cocktail party on the waterfront (not that private then) for 150 invitees to celebrate the city's transformation and progress. The list of invitees is secret (nothing new in that with the track record of the commissioners). Can Council and the commissioners be any more tone deaf? Having a cocktail party with, I assume, canapes when :
1. We are facing a 7% rates rise in a cost of living crisis.
2. Businesses have closed because of the "progress made"
3. We continue to to suffer significant inconvenience in "orange cone
city".
4. We have 4 commissioners who tried to subvert democracy by
asking to remain as unelected overlords at Council.
But really-a private cocktail party? On the waterfront? With, presumably, gates and security guards patrolling to prevent the riff raff getting in. Tone deaf.
