Premier Graham is defending his parties latest move concerning tax rates as municipalities continue to go over their budgets. The Liberal Government has proposed a cut in the rate for every municipality in the province, some as high as 11 cents. Graham tells CHSJ News, after years of complaints, they have put a new mechanism in place they hope will aleviate some of the pressure on home and property owners.
Graham adds if municipalities choose to access those tax dollars from residents of those homes, with-out having to provide extra infrastructure, they have to pass that vote in council.
