Another blog...

The Rakino Ratepayers Association has set up their own official blog in an effort to control the dissemination of information, here.

You may notice some similarities to this site :). I hope that this is a step towards them becoming more transparent and informing the public of their works and that they report the unvarnished truth. I see no point in attempting to rival them.

Environment

I would just like to clarify the issue that the Rakino Ratepayers Association is not against the support of native birds. They are all for the planting of native bush and the removal of weeds and other such measures of encouraging and nurturing bird life. The one thing however that it is not supporting is the banning of cats. This has been decided by a democratic vote. The banning of cats is something that DOC and Forest and Bird have not even contemplated.
