tax and climate change

Dave from Papamoa Beach

well i said it two years ago before the local and government elections and now we have it Taxinder got in and now we are paying more tax on fuel and cars ..we now have a replacement for nana Helen and the nanny state is now back with plastic bags gone and straws will be next and then cash will be gone and jobs will become harder to get.Listen to the news people on job benefits up 11% Whats nana Jacinder got coming next.
Then you have the idiots in council that haven't got a clue and rates go up again by way more than inflation. I was in auckland last week and it was a lot easier driving from Pukekohe to the city than driving from papamoa to Tauranga. What have this council done to the roads , well they've made Greerton take twice as long to get to and other changes around the city to make it harder to drive anywhere. Still if you voted all these idiots in so all you can do is look in the mirror and blame yourselves. We reap what we sow.
The only councillors we should even consider are the ones that say the number one priority is to fix the bloody roads.

Unelected commissioners recommend they stay in power

Pat from Welcome Bay

That's the Stuff headline. I have watched on as these commissioners proselytize about how they respect democracy-and now this. I acknowledge Simeon Brown has rejected their proposal but all I see is these commissioners trying to cling on to power and their sinecure at all costs. It is unbelievable-they should be ashamed. Ms Tolley (who does not live here), Mr Selwood who gets flown up from god knows where, and the other two-spare me the platitudes about how they are only here for the benefit of Tauranga. No you are not. You are paid to impose what you think we want. What is that? An oligarchy? Democracy is not perfect but far better than what you propose. To completely misquote Bertrand Russell-let the people think. By the way Mr Rutherford (my absent aka missing in action BoP MP) if you can deign to read this-show some mettle.
