I would like to thank those involved in nzempowered.com the information they share is sooooo informative.
I have never had a very good understanding of Valuations or rates, how they were calculated or by whom
Having recently retired I have more time and head space to take notice and apply some thought and become a little involved in my community.
I was always so trusting of those that run our community and I think as a whole they are a good bunch, but like all people having to deal with laws ,policies and various demands by all sectors it is very easy to loose sight of who it affects and how it hurts. I just wish they would take the time to be honest and explain how and why in an everyday language and not hide behind the red tape and political speak.
Again thank you Kate, Paul, Luey and all others involved explaining.
Keeping it simple and helping us to understand it all a little better so we can be more involved.
