Auckland's mayor Phil Goff has toned down plans for an additional rate on the city's tourism accommodation. The plan would reduce by one-third the level of rate increase for inner city hotels, and exclude accommodation in the outer reaches of the city. Smaller businesses such as motels would pay only forty per cent of the originally-proposed amount. Mr Goff's revised plan would raise only about two-thirds of the previously proposed 28 million dollars. RNZ's Auckland correspondent, Todd Niall, has the details.
