20Folks, bear in mind that since there is no provincial municipal auditor then there is no guarantee and also no way of knowing that this stormwater tax revenue will be dedicated to stormwater infrastructure. My betting is that a portion of this new revenue will go to non-related items, such as a pay increase for councillor Kyle Symptom.If the proposed stormwater utility fee will be replacing that portion of property taxes that used to fund infrastructure then the new property tax bill should show the fee as a separate line item and the regular property tax should be lower.

20How is this legal ? No grandfather clause ? How about on new homes only ? Charge us more for something we bought 10-15 yrs ago ? By the way. Rain water is very clean. Very easy on filtration systems. Rain water actually helps by diluting the sewage etc before entering the filtration system… maybe we should charge you for it …

18“replacing the portion of property taxes that went to funding it previously.” - Does that mean we can expect to see a reduction in our current taxes? I think we all know the answer to that. They will tell us that we will see LESS of a tax increase.

8Teaching comes with weekly hours of unpaid work for ELL, Resource Teachers and Learning Assistance Teachers. The province needs to remove expectations of extra paperwork such as typing and filing IEPs, to procure funding for students with special needs and learning disabilities. Let the teachers teach instead of typing, getting signatures, photocopying and filing. These are remade every year. The teachers with the knowledge are typing in offices instead of teaching.

6Eby made shockingly sensible comments to the media today, saying Canada should built oil refineries in response to the freeing of the Venezuelan economy. Hopefully it’s not just comments to distract from the pipeline through B.C. idea…But, for once, I’m with Eby on that one!

9Here we go again, Taxes upon Tax. As coun. Bennett released a property tax increase of aprox. 5.68%. Now Admin. want a additional rain tax to be leveed but not to all. When will it stop. When taxes are constantly raised in one way or another, it shows poor Admin. practices. Year after year taxes have increased to no avail. We have e Cori Ramsay,(Chair of Finance Committee), believing tax increases are part of the norm. City Manager Walter Babicz must be questioned as to his ability to run this City`s needs. Taxes under their watch have risen approx. $!K per household over a full four year period. Now Walter wants an additional aprox.5.68% and a undisclosed increase for rain. The people of PG are in an economic down turn. Loss of employment has put many residents to make a choice, pay for food or pay for heat. We all know this is just another tax grab. Admin. get a control of city expenditure or resign. City Councilors think very hard on your decision, it may cost you your seat.

9Here’s an idea! How about getting rid of the people who sit around City Hall dreaming up new ways to tax us and are being paid exorbitant wages to do so. Just think of all the money you’d save right there.
