About this listen
Phil Goff agrees with the Christchurch City Council's response to a Government proposal of capping rates to no more than 2 to 4 percent per year.
Goff says the Government is not performing in lowering the cost of living, but a rates cap is not the right answer.
The former Mayor of Auckland told John MacDonald the Government sees local councils as an "easy target".
Christchurch City Council has responded to the Government's proposal, saying that while they support a prudent approach to managing rates, the cap as currently designed is “unrealistic and unworkable”.
