Kaien Road needs to be done from Frederick St. onwards, not just a small section. Its a busy road and a necessary bypass that needs to be fully paved for the first time in decades. That may still be the original surface of the old highway.
ReplyDeleteIf only we didn’t have a 58% reduction in tax revenues from the port, we might be able to pay for it!!
DeleteThe city doesn’t recognize that in snowy and icy conditions the lower road to Fredrick is the main access for the larger trucks.
DeleteDoes the city know the industrial park is heavily taxed and get little in return.
If only Citywest paid down their debt, instead of simply servicing it.
Delete$17 132 762 current Citywest loan amount + $20 million forgiven to Citywest in 2008.
Your rewind button is damaged, other readers can see that.
Equating Citywest to PRPA is worse than apples and oranges, it’s apples and elephants.
DeleteWhy do you think there was hardly any public protest for a 12.5% tax increase? It’s because people can see the real problem. Hint: it’s not Citywest.
Go on, we’re all waiting. Enlighten us.
DeleteMoney is money and CityWest is using taxpayers money while my taxes were raised. It is not apples to oranges. It is money out of my pocket to support a provincial wide phone company.
DeleteMoney is money, thanks Captain Obvious.
DeleteBut making regular debt repayment/dividends from a decades old loan is definitely not anywhere close to the same as a year-over-year revenue reduction of 58%.
The former keeps tax rates the same or lower, the other raises them.
"If only we didn’t have a 58% reduction in tax revenues from the port ...."
DeleteThat is misleading: the 58% reduction pertains to PRPA's Payment in Lieu of Taxes on vacant lands, not to property taxes paid by the Port's tenants under current legislation.
The white elephant that is Citywest had 20 million forgiven and is sitting on another 17 million of taxpayer apples.
DeleteThis taxpayer wants more out of the local telecom to fund local roads, water and sewer.
PILT disputes drag on forever, google Cold Lake, Halifax, and Montreal PILT disputes.
Glad to know we aren’t alone in getting screwed on PILT.
DeleteBut that doesn’t make your comparison any less wrong.
One guess if a telecom or the port complex uses roads, water and sewers more….
