A timely announcement Goff using loss of income to moan about i.e. Airport fees, ports of Ak, Stadium hire, Petrol tax, etc and still the council projects possibly carry on.
I don't believe the rates decrease will even be looked at, he will have his yes councilors to stop this happening for sure. Any thoughts even if 83% of you voted for decrease in last posting on this subject .
