Wayne Brown: Auckland Mayor is confident that his preferred budget plan will be backed
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Tuesdays
Auckland's Mayor is confident the public —and councillors— will back his preferred budget plan. Councillors will vote today on seeking public feedback on rising rates by about 38%, 20%, or 13% over three years. The 38% option would fund new infrastructure, while the 13% would see assets age and deteriorate. Mayor Wayne Brown told Mike Hosking that he's backing the 20% option, involving annual rates rises of 7.5%, 3.5%, and 8%. He says it's a sensible approach.
