Comments on: On the Property Tax Conundrum http://ward3brighton.ca/blog/2009/01/15/241 Councillor Rob Lantz - Charlottetown | Ward 3 (Brighton) Fri, 20 Jan 2012 19:14:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tax Guru http://ward3brighton.ca/blog/2009/01/15/241/comment-page-1#comment-101330 Tax Guru Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:53:29 +0000 http://ward3brighton.ca/?p=241#comment-101330 I've been engaged in taxations for lengthier then I care to admit, both on the private side (all my working life!!) and from a legal stand since passing the bar and following tax law. I've supplied a lot of advice and rectified a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you've posted makes perfect sense. Please persist in the good work - the more people know the better they'll be equipped to cope with the tax man, and that's what it's all about.

What is required to maintain sanitation, law and order and a robust infrastructure? Those items need to be maintained, streamlined, yes, but maintained as essential services. PEI has a legacy of service towards each other. Ensuring that people feel that the city and province are stable will enable them to feel as though they can reach out and help their neighbours. The city and province can build fiscal stability, the citizens are responsible for building social stability. Of course, I'd always be open to a tax cut :) I think it is prudent to do exactly as Rob Patterson suggests — examine what it takes to make the city function.
