Waterfront
ratepayers
after fair
taxation
If you live
on any waterfront
in Ontario, you've
likely noticed
substantial changes
in your assessed
property value.
Those
tax hikes pay
for municipal
and other services.
Consider this:
is it fair that
you should pay
the largest share
of taxes to receive
the same amount
of service, or
less? Action
is needed now
to restore fairness
and equality
in property assessment
and taxation
- on the waterfront.
