How about a 2018 resolution that has direct democracy as its aim?
I raise this because our media is telling us the wishes of local politicians and ignoring the 100,000 people of Tauranga city who have no say, but have to pay.
For example: a new $5m visitor centre, $50m museum, $40m library, $80m admin block, $30m car park, 15th Ave upgrade, water system, $2m per annum staff rent and more.
Free: chronic water shortage, traffic gridlock, impossible parking and more.
Democracy means rule by the people. It does not mean electing average people who become dictators.
To Tauranga City Council a new 2018 resolution. To install an electronic voting system which will enable all 100,000 Tauranga voters to express their binding votes on all major issues.
K Evans, Tauranga.

TCC debt
Posted on 05-01-2018 09:51 | By Captain Sensible
You are dead right Ken. TCC are trying to outdo Auckland with the amount of debt they can raise. We are approaching half a billion dollars of debt while Auckland has over a billion dollars. The people of Auckland pay over a million dollars a day just to service this debt, not pay it off! TCC will have us in the same position within a few more years.
