Voice of Byron regular, Rachel Thorne, noticed something odd about Byron Shire Council’s “Funding Our Future” online rates survey.
Rachel says, “The survey for the special rate variation “funding our future” that came with the council rates doesn’t have a box to tick for “no rate rise” but if you go online and do the survey you can choose “no special rate rise”.
“Is this to trick people into thinking there is no option but a special rate rise?”
