Any local government candidate claiming to be able to freeze rates rises, or cut rates has immediately lost my vote. Any national government candidate or party that is not arguing to overall increase the tax take will not gain my vote either.

Both local & national governments have claimed "surpluses" by running down infrastructure (apart from roads) and not investing in what used to be the future & what is now the present. And i'm sick of it.

Also; everybody moaning about rates rises now that voted to get rid of the 3 Waters solution to the problem, congratulations you donkeys!
