Wendy Fletcher met her first target of 2500 signatures on her STOP the Proposed 2024 Property Tax Increase
And promptly set a new target of 5000.
There are two Councillors who have said publicly or to groups of people in their community that the public at large has no problem with the tax increase the Mayor has proposed which looks like it is going to be swallowed by the rest of City Council.
Councillor Sharman, who is now a BFF to the Mayor (there was a time when he was focused on making her as ineffective as possible) and has convinced her that she is doing the right thing.
Time will tell – if Council is wrong they will have hurt a lot of people financially – they know that but appear willing to take that chance.
.
Might the next step be for interested taxpayers to show up at City Hall to reinforce the signal that the tax hike is too high? Kudos to Wendy for a very successfull petition.
Congratulations Wendy.
