Attention Mayor Prendergast and Council

Attention Mayor Prendergast and Council

Public service to be down sized from 42,000 to 36,000

In the light of the proposed downsizing of the public service and the multiplier for unemployment, I would like to know what Council intends to do about the excessive pay increases it awarded itself earlier this year. Given that many public servants will be losing their jobs and will find it difficult to meet their rates bills, what is the justification for holding onto the excessive pay increases that Councillors voted for, in particular the Councillors who received between 10 and 50 percent more to serve on LATES and TRUSTS while earning well above the ordinary Councillor remuneration.

Hi Bryan,

Did you not know that "we", Councillors including the Mayor, are only interested in serving ourselves instead of those who elected us unto these priviledges.

KP and councillors

So Bryan,

With you as the exeption again. Why do you think they all voted for a rates increase?

The word you are looking for is "regulation".............

SAVE WELLINGTON.........yeah right!

Ratepayers beware, you are paying rates on over valued properties and just incurred another 5.18% increase as from the 1st of September. Next Rates bill due 1st of December 2008.

Kerry Prendergast and Councillors except Bryan Pepperell, he knows you wont have one!!!!

SAVE WELLINGTON......yeah right!
