Tax increases ridiculous

It is nothing but smoke and mirrors and we continue to let it happen.

If it is correct that the CVRD justified its hiring of a communications manager by virtue of otherwise unexpended 2015 dollars, can we be assured that those otherwise unexpended tax dollars will not be included in their budget proposal for 2016? I suspect we know the answer. It is nothing but smoke and mirrors and we continue to let it happen.

The Cowichan Valley, at seven per cent, leads any similar jurisdiction in tax increases. Elsewhere on the Island, municipalities are vilified for raising taxes by three per cent.
