Rates extravagance next
Ratepayers will be horrified at the extravagant allowances members of the Ruapehu District Council have seen fit to vote themselves. It seems some councillors have confused their part time role of community policy makers with that of their highly paid full time executive officers. By my calculations the newly elected mayor will be able to pocket $1000 for each time he dons the mayoral' chain. That councillor Malcolm should justify such excess with the 'monkey and peanuts' cliche makes me very apprehensive about the
likely level of future rate demands. Whatever has happened to the idea of community service?
