The Nelson City council is already cranking the spin machine into gear in its attempt to hide all the other bits of deceit, that they have already indulged in during during the LTCCP.
That spin has started with the latest issue of council's propaganda rag, Live Nelson, proclaiming that the general rate, will increase by more than 3.2%.
That little gem of a quote will probably join councils now infamous rugby cup quote, that the WRC multi million dollar expenditure exercise, "Could cost more than ZERO".
Well this present rates statement, is in exactly the same vein as its WRC little brother, because the the general rate increase, as declared in the estimates, was actually a planned increase of 12.65%, but now that the overall rate increase has been bumped up slightly, so also will the general rate increase be bumped up slightly, probably to somewhere around 13%.
Wouldn't it be great to be able to drive your own domestic economy with such rose tinted glasses, because, if you did, I suspect that you would not survive for very long, before you got flushed down the dunny.

- This blogspot is born out of a deep democratic concern about the continual political spin and the outright manipulation and suppression of information by local government and local media. In my view that rampant disinformation has become so extreme that it can only be considered grossly deceptive. This blogspot attempts to provide some balancing transparency to that situation. Hopefully it might even help keep the "buggers" honest.
