outrageous demand

You can do that on the KCDC website here  In fact you can find out what it is for every other property in Kapiti if you want, too — it’s public information.

Although the Mayor is claiming that the Districtwide average increase is 4.8%, your editors’ are increasing 5.6% — from $3,128 to $3,304 and that seems typical from the few others we’ve checked.  On top of that, of course, there are the quarterly water bills which were separated out 5 years ago.

If that trend continues, everyone in Waikanae will be able to say they work for the KCDC: “we work so we can can pay the council Rates demands.”
