For a mayor elected on the promise of bringing spending under control it seems fiscal responsibility has gone out the window in his haste to create a legacy. Looking more and more likely that the legacy will be crippling debt to pay for the dream list and the need to sell off the cities assets to fund the interest on the many loans.
But the mayor is already talking of a 35% rate increase to soften up ratepayers and when the real increase comes out at 10% he will be telling us all, look how much I have saved the ratepayers.
I don't regard opening up Wachner Place as essential to add to the rates. Also rate payers should be made aware of what the multi miillions pumped into Invercargill Central is costing them in the form of interest alone.
A no brainer . Why did we as ratepayers buy ( supposedly for a $1million dollar bargain ) an aged leaking ( but not disclosed leaking? )rugby stadium. And now have $14.9 million allocated to build rugby watchers’ bums their seating . First to go please: Into the non- essential spending list. I heard that wachner place isn’t used. Why does no one shout that this rugby infrastructure isn’t either ….
How do become a staff member cause I want in!!! Forget about the community cause they will pay for our sneaky ideas that cost a shit load to do, this ICC needs it head checked

Smoke and mirrors?
