Auckland Council needs to look at its own spending, before it demands more in taxes
So much for campaign promises of cutting Council waste
Over the last few days Mayor Phil Goff has been talking to media about introducing *new* targeted rates. Apparently, that is the best idea he has to "keep rates down".
We say that Mr Goff should focus at getting the Council's wasteful spending under control and ensuring that money is be used for things that matter. Only then should new taxes on roads, fuel, and tourists be considered.
