Ratepayer Groups Shut Out of Phil Goff's Wasthaven
Announcement
22 DECEMBER 2015
FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Auckland Ratepayers’ Alliance is welcoming the Labour Party’s decision to put up a strong candidate in Phil Goff to replace its existing Mayor in Auckland, but note that no ratepayer group was invited to today’s announcement.
Jo Holmes, spokesperson for the Auckland Ratepayers’ Alliance says:
“We are deeply saddened that not a single ratepayer group in our network was invited to today’s announcement. If it's an indication of Mr Goff’s attitude toward ratepayers, he’s never going to rebuild the trust shattered by Len Brown."
“Few will doubt that Phil Goff has the experience for the job, but he needs to be very careful not to make campaign promises without clear plans of how they are going to be paid for.”
