Yesterday Council met for the first time since July and most of the meeting was focused on the current and challenging financial situation of the City and the Mayor’s campaign for fairness when it comes to funding from other levels of government.
This is something I agree with the Mayor on and fully support his efforts, particularly when it comes to a fair deal for our city with the federal government and the payments in lieu of taxes (PILTs).
Our residents don’t get to arbitrarily decide how much they pay in taxes, why should the federal government be allowed to? You can see what I had to say from a rural perspective in the video below.
