To think that Kingstonians, or Ontarians in general, would support another tax, is unimaginable. Yet, a Kingstonian who holds a high office, is floating that idea. A municipal tax for infrastructure.
Yesterday, the Mayor of Sarnia said that she does not support a municipal tax. Others have spoken out against this incredible idea, long before the Mayor of Sarnia said it.
It's another bone-headed idea, to match the one in which the city shoe-horned its new rink into one downtown block, made no provision for parking, did not conduct credible traffic studies prior to deciding to build there, had virtually no idea where the money was to come from, ignored thousands of local taxpayers who opposed the location, and counted on federal government support when there was little (if any) support noticeable from the feds.
Then, in the time since construction started, had the audacity to beat on the federal government on a number of issues and STILL expect it to give, not $4 million, but $8 million!
Kingstonians can barely comprehend all this.
