They note that for every tax dollar collected through income tax, GST, and other taxes, (except of course property tax) only ten cents comes back to the Municipality! I've been crabbing about that for years!
The province has set up this "Us versus Them" attitude. Every time a municipality, whether it be tiny like Beiseker or huge like Calgary, needs extra funding, they must go hat in hand to the provincial government and quite literally beg for extra funding. That whole attitude has to change because after all it's our money!
It's no coincidence that these adds came out just as an election is imminent!
