Calls for for resignations from Auckland Council's executive team.

Mayor Wayne Brown has met with National MPs today, discussing its governing body's ballooning $270 million dollar budget hole.

He's ruled out plugging it with a 12 percent rates rise.

Auckland Ratepayers Alliance spokesperson Josh Van Veen says Council Chief Executive Jim Stabback needs to go, and so does the entire leadership team.
