19Folks, 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.

19How 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 …

17“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!
