Do you agree with Council’s proposal to have one Mayor and 12 Councillors (4 Matamata, 4 Morrinsville and 3 Te Aroha and 1 Māori) for the 2022 and 2025 elections?
No
Comments/suggested alternative Council structure
Maori are able to become Councilors in their own right, that is democracy. Having a Maori Ward is promoting racism. There are many ethnicities in our District who are contributing to the rate funds. Councilors must represent all ratepayers and I am not sure that this will happen with the Maori Councilor.
