Tantramar council approves $3.3m tax breaks for housing projects |

This feels completely unfair to everyday local residents and taxpayers. We’re talking millions in forgone municipal revenue that could go toward roads, services, fire/police, parks, or even keeping taxes stable for everyone else. Meanwhile, some residents in former LSD areas have seen tax hikes in recent budgets to cover shared services, and we’re all feeling the pinch from inflation and costs. Councillor Bruce Phinney voted against it, calling the program ‘far too generous’ and ‘much too extravagant,’ saying developers would build anyway without such huge incentives. I tend to agree, why hand out such massive breaks when it means less money in the municipal pot for the rest of us who live here. We need to vote out every member of this current council except Bruce Phinney. It’s a disaster. The fire fighter issue, now huge favourable tax breaks for developers, while citizens get ignored, it is getting ridiculous."
Its getting ridiculous is an understatement.
