Congestion Tax Called 'A Joke"

Not my problem.......That's what Rothesay Mayor Bill Bishop says about a proposed congestion tax on suburban commuters who drive into the uptown core. 

He calls it a joke and could very well be the worst idea he has ever heard for generating revenue. 

Bishop sees it as nothing more than posturing for the upcoming election and says a far better idea would be to increase fees to park uptown but Common Councillor Bruce Court isn't crazy about that suggestion believing it will just drive people to the malls where they can park anywhere they want free of charge.
