Re: Tauranga's rent-a-crowd. Every Tauranga City ratepayer should be extremely grateful to both Roger Rabbit and Steve Morris for pointing out how very corrupt [in our opinion] Minister Nania Mahuta and our Commissioners are by inviting only those who receive money from council to meetings, which decide to take our right to vote away and extending the time the commissioners will run Tauranga City. Just remember those Commissioners naturally want their contract extended as long as possible due to the massive amounts we, the ratepayers, are paying them. Those invited receiving payment for ‘services' naturally also want the current situation to continue for their own gain too. It is just so sick in our opinion.

Many thanks for giving me the opportunity to express my views and keep up the good work.
