No More Rates suggests that megacity could be disastrous for Auckland. Why?
"The Royal Commission report could well almost certainly lead not only to higher council rates all round, but also a massive redistribution of wealth right across the region"
Now No More Rates isn't a ginger group for user pays or for cutting councils, but its concern is valid.
Local government reform must be driven by the curtailment of the grand centralised planning ideas of politicians and bureaucrats. Those who want local government to do more don't want to pay for it themselves, they want others to be forced to pay.
It is time to fight the socialist's wet dream - the megacity with a power of general competence.
It is time for a review on the role and extent of local government - governed by basic principles of protecting property rights, individual freedoms and promoting economic efficiency.
It is time to end local government being the boot camp for future leftwing MPs.
