I don't understand why the author thinks raising property tax rather than increasing the bus fair is a good idea. I suppose he takes the bus and so is biased in his opinion that someone else should foot the bill whether they use the service or not. I do not use the service and so am against biased against the property tax. Regardless of my bias I do believe that people using service should in most cases support them. Obviously exceptions for major expenses need to be distributed amongst the tax base, but a 25 cent increase is not a major expense. I would like to know the proposed increase to property tax, though it would likely make me cringe. Needless to say, I'm glad the councillor failed in her proposition.
