Jokes about Hamilton aside, this kind of sucks.

As someone who lives here it’s sad to see and I’ll get to pay for it through rates rises too!

    I suspect kicking the can down the road for many years. Promising not to raise rates wins votes during council elections I suppose.

      This is what it is; campaigning on “No rates rises”, will almost always get you a bunch more votes. So investment is always kept to an absolute minimum.
