I am sure most ratepayers are ‘tyred' of the money-grubbing money-wasting principles of practice and philosophy of the Tauranga City Council.

The proposed worn tyre fine is the last straw.

A warning would be okay, after all the owner of the car could be waiting for a tyre to become available and the car could be booked for a tyre change or Warrant of Fitness.
This is a greedy Dickensian move by a greedy council that has no idea how to run the finances of a city. Before the last election the Mayor said/wrote/published: ' I will fix all of Tauranga's problems in the first 100 days of 2014”.

Well the 100 days have passed. I wonder how many of the problems the Mayor has sorted?

I haven't seen him or any member of the TCC publish anything about even one problem he has fixed.

I feel the Mayor should right now resign from office.
