What a week

I have been contacted by several people apalled at the news that taxes are rising faster then they can handle them. "What can we do?" they ask. Not much apparently as the local Council are determined to do what they want to do as opposed to listening. The great example is the proposed Seniors' Centre. Designed to give the older adults more play space at public expense. I say if they want a specific building let them pay for it. On the other hand if Council wished to rationalise recreational opportunities and put them in a multi-use facility we can pay for it. But! only after public input and full disclosure about the annual operating costs and who will pay for them.
