Atlantic Director Kevin Lacey fears an increase in taxes and license
fees. He tells Tide News to look what's happening with the property
assessments which are tax increases by another name.
Some homeowners are outraged by the increase they're being hit with.
Lacey
says it would be a mistake to roll back the 2008 tax reductions that
were implemented by the previous Liberal government under then Premier
Shawn Graham.
Those
tax cuts are seen by some, including Rod Hill of U-N-B Saint John who
ran for the NDP, as making the provincial deficit worse and not
achieving the economic growth that was hoped for.
