New Reports on Ways to Generate Cash

New for June.16th/2009:

New for 9am:

The authors of a report on the city's funding options for services and infrastructure say cities should be in control of property taxes. Co-author Enid Slack says municipalities should take care of it. Slack says it's a palatable option for the province and something Saint John should pursue.
In the meantime, she suggests user fees and new forms of taxation as a way to generate revenue.

Slack says that could include hotel taxes, user fees for garbage pick-up and non-residential parking fees.
