Slippery Driving and Walking

The roads are wet and icy this morning. That's why police are urging drivers to take it slow. If you're walking, you should be also take care because the sidewalks are icy with temperatures not expected to get much above the freezing mark today. Mike Campbell of Environment Canada tells Tide News snowfall warnings have been issued for St. Stephen , Grand Manan, Saint John, coastal and northern Charlotte County as well as Fredericton.


Campbell goes on to say they expect another five will fall before it ends with higher totals outside St John towards Fredericton.

Income Tax Reductions

If your trying to keep all your paper-work in order for tax time, here is something else to consider. As of January.1st, the province's tax brackets and non-refundable amounts for personal income tax will be indexed by two per cent. That means there are several scenario's which can save you money including a one-earner family earning $25,000 per year will pay no provincial income tax, and will save $219 next year or 100 per cent of the tax paid in 2008.




The Province says the four year plan for lower taxes will deliver $380 million dollars in savings over that time.
