Yes but I’d argue that having to ask for an average of 14.5% rate rise would indicate that the council isn’t running well. Most corporate companies in the same position where they have to ask their shareholders for more money wouldn’t in the same breathe also ask them to give the CEO a pay rise/re-alignment.
Yes, very good point. If I was paying those rates I'd for sure be asking where that money is going.
