Finance
I am critically aware that families, workers and businesses have been financially squeezed in the last few years, and rates increases are never popular. The current 10 year plan allows a blueprint to get the city’s finances back into the black, but needs scrutiny by the new council to ensure that any rates increases cannot be funded by other means. As always, reduced income means reduced spending, and any cuts to council plans are going to adversely affect some group.
I want to make sure that the effects of fiscal restraint are spread evenly and fairly across all residents.
