Five Weeks to Stop the Tax Hikes

Hi Everyone,

Below is the article by Michael Duck on Mayor Panto's proposed new budget and the tax hikes it will mean for the West Ward. Whether you are an owner or a renter, this effect you. For owners, the effect of a property tax hike is obvious, but for renters it can also mean higher rent as landlords pass the expense on to tenants. This article also covers raising income taxes, which effects both owners and renters.

Please read this article and stay informed and vigilant on this issue, as we will need to have a big showing at the upcoming budget meetings at City Hall to be able to stop this. The mayor is quoted as saying that residents have not yet complained about the new budget--we need to change that right away. We are lucky that we have a reporter that is even asking these questions, and we need to respond to this call with action:

We will also discuss this at tomorrow's Canton Meeting, so I hope to see you there! We need focused, informed and organized action as a group to make this happen--and we can.
