The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is a bit uneasy about the next provincial budget that will be unveiled on Tuesday. It's Atlantic Director Kevin Lacey fears an increase in taxes and licence fees. He tells CHSJ News to look what's happening with the property assessments which are tax increases by another name.
Some homeowners are outraged by the increase they're being hit with.
Lacey says it would be a mistake to roll back the 2008 tax reductions that were implemented by the previous Liberal government under then Premier Shawn Graham.
Those tax cuts are seen by some, including Rod Hill of U-N-B Saint John who ran for the NDP, as making the provincial deficit worse and not achieving the economic growth that was hoped for.
