Roads to unaccountable debt!
Editor,
With all the ranting about “roads”, why can’t Council advise ratepayers what the total financial debt is? Since amalgamation, I believe SMRC has accumulated deficits over $68m (they appear to write-off the deficit every year) and over $60m of that was in the last three years.
