Why I'm standing
I am concerned that rates in my district are going to become unaffordable to an increasingly larger group of property owners. This is not good for the community.
About me
I am willing to make decisions that place the ratepayers first.
My priorities
- Establish clarity for ratepayers on where their money is being spent.
- Identify fixed costs and core service delivery for the Tasman District Council and use this as a baseline for rates.
- Explore exit strategy for the Waimea dam.
