Farren Disagrees With Tax Relief For Transit

A Pandora's Box........That's why Common Councillor Bill Farren opposes property tax relief for Saint John Transit even if it would mean more than 300 thousand dollars in savings that will be plowed back into bus service.

Farren says how does he argue against giving food banks relief but you make city owned buildings exempt.

Farren points out everyone seemed to be complaining a few years ago when industry in the city got a big property tax break from the province.
