SF Tax Reduction

John Sherbino | Feb 03, 2021

Dear Ross,

The tax reduction proposal is insulting at several levels.

The very thought of the disproportionate allocation favouring the ‘wealthy’ is self-serving for Council at a financial and political level and might even pitch neighbours against each other.

It is also an insult at both levels as it assumes that an idiotically small reduction will improve a life under stress and that folks can’t count or will be cheered by ‘pennies from heaven’.

Pick a financial cohort and make a REAL reduction to its collective tax bill if you are sincere.

Fix the roads and at least driving to work or to find work will be easier and safer, not to mention the message sent to those planning to move here and pay more taxes for all to enjoy.

Stop treating the reserve fund as inviolate.
