You think inflation is bad try combine inflation!

@BrockMcGregor @DarrinCanniff Very true, it’ll be too late in the season… but worth voting against? Better late than never.
Hopefully council will learn from past mistakes when this comes around again, trying to save a buck at the cost of rural road safety. Shameful.

[Eric Prelaz @ejprelaz]

Shame on Councillors @BrockMcGregor Conor Allin and Mayor @DarrinCanniff for voting against this motion. Their lack of care for rural infrastructure needs and safety of rural roads in CK couldn’t be more obvious. A necessity in rural CK that makes up approx 0.8% of the tax rate.

Mark Carney didn’t cancel the carbon tax. He set the rate at zero. It matters because he can increase it anytime he wants, without a vote, should he win.

It also matters because he’s spent the last decade evangelizing about the importance of a carbon price for the world. He’s never said it’s bad public policy. He’s said it’s bad politics right now.

He hasn’t said he will repeal the legislation should he win.

He hasn’t even said he won’t raise the rates.

Read his book.

He’s told us what his plans are. I can’t believe how few people are holding him to account for this.

@CatMatton @carmenmcgregor Not the singular lowest but yes, one of… should see the state that rural CK is left in compared to neighbouring counties and municipalities!

[Eric Prelaz @ejprelaz]

Can any of the urban councillors tell me what additional services and maintenance they’re going to add to rural CK when they vote yes to increase the farm tax rate? Other than creating more tax review for CK what good is this going to do for your residence? @carmenmcgregor

Chatham-Kent Council is set to get a report back on possible changes to the farm tax ratio in the municipality. #ckont https://t.co/5aeSUiiUe2

[Eric Prelaz @ejprelaz]

@BrockMcGregor @RSHFarms @DarrinCanniff @AmyFinnCK Yes Brock, I have the tax bill that shows the difference. Interested to see what “strategies” the report shows other than what you mentioned. Otherwise sounds like you and I could have tweeted what to do and saved some money.

[Eric Prelaz @ejprelaz]

@BrockMcGregor @RSHFarms @DarrinCanniff @AmyFinnCK Yes I understand the article and the vote. Question remains, what services and maintenance will be added if the farm tax ratio is increased? Especially from 22% to 25%. What justifies a 3% increase? What are we asking to be reallocated? What’s specific in this report request?

[Eric Prelaz @ejprelaz]

@BrockMcGregor @RSHFarms @DarrinCanniff @AmyFinnCK Sorry Brock, you’re talking about reallocating percentages so yes it is “revenue neutral” if the farm tax ratio goes up and let’s say residential or commercial goes down. Still doesn’t answer the question of what additional services and maintenance are added for that sector.

[Eric Prelaz @ejprelaz]

@BrockMcGregor @RSHFarms @DarrinCanniff @AmyFinnCK How is increasing the tax ratio revenue neutral and not add additional revenue to the budget?
If a building is added to an existing property and that property is reassessed to reflect an increase in value does that not create an increase in taxes due?

[Eric Prelaz @ejprelaz]

@RSHFarms @DarrinCanniff @AmyFinnCK @BrockMcGregor I have no idea why they can’t figure out building permits. They make more revenue with the property value increases. And even when we receive drainage ditch maintenance we pay for it in special charges on our tax bill… so the question, what’s the benefit? More money for Chatham
