Lacey Pleads For No Tax Increases

Please don't raise our taxes!

This from Atlantic Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation Kevin Lacey when confronting Finance Minister Blaine Higgs on the 2012-2013 provincial budget.

Lacey says New Brunswickers' salaries are not going up, but all the fees we pay like food, health, gasoline, and CPP are.


He adds, to raise taxes now would not give the revenue that is needed, nor will it benefit any New Brunswicker that is forced to pay all the prices that are on the rise.

Lacey and Finance Minister Blaine Higgs were at the St. Stephen Legion Tuesday, hosting a pre-budget consultation to get New Brunswickers' input.
