DECISION TO RULE OUT REGIONAL FUEL TAX WELCOMED
16
FEBRUARY 2017
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Steven Joyce and Simon Bridges' public statement ruling out a regional fuel tax for Auckland is being welcomed by the Auckland Ratepayers' Alliance. Spokesperson Jo Holmes says:
“Aucklanders already pay more than enough to Auckland
Council. We welcome this announcement because the Council
needs to find efficiencies and show that it can spend our
money prudently before it digs even deeper into our pocket
– whether that be through rates or other taxes Phil Goff
is lobbying for.”
