Council Rates Need Cutting Now-People are in Need

I am a welfare Officer here  at the Fish Creek RSL . We are delivering food to people in need in the Fish Creek, and Meeniyan  area, for people doing it tough. We supply food clothing and furniture also have helped several families that have lost everything in the fires , and still have received no financial help from all the moneys donated. My Question to you is how are people supposed to survive , no work no money , and now a rate Rise. My Question is , why is the Shire so greedy, people out of work , How are people supposed to exist , they need every dollar , now what about the people on pensions , our War Widows , lost their husbands fighting for this country , people on pensions , people that have lost their jobs , and now a Rate Rise , for furniture , what about food and care for our people in stress, Think about our people doing it tough , show the shire cares about them not themselves please cut the Rates , and give the people a chance , to survive .
