Mayor Says Commuter Tax Not Likely To Happen

The Mayor says those who are upset with the possibility of a commuter tax have nothing to worry about.

Ivan Court tells CHSJ News it's one of many ideas being considered as a way to generate revenue.  He doesn't believe the tax will ever be implemented.

Court adds the city couldn't put the tax in place even if it wanted to as it would be under provincial jurisdiction.

Valley residents are opposed to the tax and Rothesay Mayor Bill Bishop has called it a "joke."
