In a "really direct" pre-election report, Hamilton City Council chief executive Richard Briggs and his team get candidates to the realities of delivering election promises (file photo). If you're a Hamilton council candidate promising a rates cut, be prepared to explain how you'll make it reality. Hamilton City Council chief executive Richard Briggs and his team are putting those kinds of questions to council hopefuls, encouraging them to flesh out their policies. Many candidates have a plan, he said, but some may not have understood all the consequences, and the Hamilton City Council 2019 pre-election report is a prompt to flesh out their policies. Hamilton City Council's 2019 pre-election report is available online and hard copies are available at the council building in Garden Place and at Hamilton City Libraries.
