Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

From Thursday most New Zealanders can expect to take more of their paycheck home as a major plank of the coalition government’s election promises come into effect.

A crackdown on Hamilton rubbish dumpers may be paying off after the city council more than quadrupled the number of infringement notices it issues annually.

Do you think this will help stop illegal dumpers? Let us know your reason in the comments. (Please add NFP if you don't want your comments used in print.)
