Our Rates Are Too High

It is election time for local councils, excluding Tauranga as yet another legacy of the commissioners.

I have put my hat in the ring for one of the five vacancies on the Bay Of Plenty regional Council, Tauranga Ward. There are eighteen candidates nominated so far. Nominations closed 12.00pm Friday 1st August. The list will be confirmed on Monday. It is a big field, with a lot of candidates competing for the five positions.
