Every year I have put in submissions to the council and I am sure they do no good and are a waste of time.
So this year I will tell them to sell every thing they can, and get out of things like fitness centres and anything business can do better, and look at over-staffing in every thing they do, and for the mayor and councillors to take a 25% pay cut, to help pay off some of the debt. Because until we get our spending under control we will be in trouble.
I was pleased to see they have stopped telling us that Route K will be taken over by NZTA.
It was to be 2008 then 2012 now some time in the future, the fact are it will have to make a profit for five years before NZTA will look at it. So I think it will be on council books for a long time.
