Current Issues
RASBA is currently focused on these key issues. Each of these issues relates to the community being hit in the hip pocket with increased costs. At a time of high inflation, rising interest rates and high rents, it is time for the COV to manage their finances more responsibly instead of reaching deeper into our pockets.
