I strongly object to Cr Loti Fuli’s suggestion that there be a targeted rate to upgrade the haul out facilities at Half Moon Bay (Times, March 22).
If the boaties are causing a problem, let them pay for the hard stand.
Our rates are too high as they are and we have just had another $80 per month added on without any consultation and still can’t get decent footpaths.
Anyway, who would administer it? One in four council employees receive over $100,000 per year and the council’s salaries bill is now exceeding $1 billion per year and I do not think we get value for money.
