Editor: Does our municipal council have any conception of fiscal restraint? Why is there no effort to reduce cost and expenditures instead of foisting tax increases on homeowners?
I received in the mail the latest municipal tax increase which advances tax freedom day from June 21 to June 23 next year. As a senior homeowner in Chatham trying to get by on CPP, this is a bitter pill to swallow.
Is there no end to tax increases? I guess the increase doesn’t affect the councillors with their $36K side-hustle, but it makes it very difficult for low-income homeowners.
