Dear Bryan,
Thanks for keeping us informed, in view of the shift of the burden from commercial to residdential rates can we (the ratepayers) expect to shop at reduced prices next time we purchase? Or is this just another golden handshake from Kerry and the gang with vested interests.
PS: I thought Commercial rates were tax-deductable, where is the logic? In the meantime the rich are getting richer and "greed" the overal winner. Sick
A word of thanks to those who opposed and you Bryan.
PEPPERELL "RATES" WELL REALLY IS STARTING TO MAKE SENSE.
Dear Bryan,
It seems I have spoken too soon!!! Kerry's gang just got bigger and you are now the "only" Wellington City Councillor against the shift of the burden from commercial to and the increase of the residential rates.
You now need to be congratulated and commiserations to the ratepayers of Wellington.
