Auckland's Mayor is confident the public \u2014and councillors\u2014 will back his preferred budget plan.\xa0

Councillors will vote today on seeking public feedback on rising rates by about 38%, 20%, or 13% over three years.\xa0

The 38% option would fund new infrastructure, while the 13% would see assets age and deteriorate.\xa0

Mayor Wayne Brown told Mike Hosking that he's backing the 20% option, involving annual rates rises of 7.5%, 3.5%, and 8%.\xa0

He says it's a sensible approach.\xa0
