The deceit that the Nelson City council is indulging in over rates increase information, is becoming apparent.
This Hands up mob's, come hell or high water, vested interest driven intention, to forcibly impose a PAC on the community, no matter what the cost to the ratepayer, is driving council to extreme lengths of deceit, in their attempts to hide the real level of rates imposition and economic harm, that this hare brained white elephant will inflict.
The LTCCP rates increase data was structured in such a way that it was impossible to understand whether the declared percentage increases were the figures before or after the mortgage holiday manipulation.
The way the data was presented, forced the reader to the conclusion, that the stated rate increase of 12.65% was the figure before manipulation, and that the mortgage holiday sham brought the increase down significantly from that point.
It is now obvious that visual misdirection was involved in that sleight of hand.
It is also clear, that the declared 12.65% figure, was the end figure after manipulation, and the actual underlying rate increase is well in excess of that.
Recent information coming to light indicates that council had actually publicly admitted, that the real rate increase, is in fact 16.00%.
That 16.00% figure certainly fits with the fact, that the general rate increase is in practice, panning out at somewhere between 14.00% and 21.00%.
No wonder they are so desperate to hide that information.

- 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.
