【跟进】写给素里市长和市议员们的呼吁信 :干不了就辞职?!
01
素里市府宣布今年将对业主征收17.5%的地税,这将是素里市有史以来幅度最大的地税上调。增加地税的理由,据市府解释是由于素里试图取消市警,保留皇家骑警,与警务相关的成本占其中的9.5%
有群友在各群发动:”这是市长和八位议员邮箱,大家赶快发邮件,一句话就行,No 17.5% increase!!!!!“。

2月27日,有群友“老任”发文,写了一封呼吁信:
To our mayor Brenda Lock and city councillors, If before the municipal election, you have had told people that when I got voted up to the power, I would increase your property tax up 17.5% in one year because I would like change SPS back to RCMP and also charge your guys extra to release the inflationary pressure, and posted another cost for hiring additional 25 police officers, were you confident that you and your team could be elected?
The government is supposed to be of the people by the people, and for the people. In this difficult time of inflation, no matter home owners, renters, or business owners, your people have already suffered from everything up the price. We do understand the property tax would be increased to battle the change, but not at this ridiculous rate. The higher tax rates reduce the competitiveness of the city and undermine the sustainable development of the city.
Be honest to the people, face the problem, and find out which way is best for the residents of our city. If switching back to RCMP is too much cost consuming, then keep the SPS, keep the transparency, audit where the tax goes, and explain to people the best way to keep the tax increase rate low. If you do not have the ability to do it, then resign and let the more capable leader to do it“.
文中写到:”无论是选 RCMP 还是保留素里市警,请透明地公开成本,审计税收去向,并向人们解释选用哪种警察是维持低税率的最佳方法。 如果你们没有能力去做,那就辞职,让更有能力的领导来做“。
素里市长洛克Locke说,为了(维持)警力,她除了涨物业税以外,没有其他选择。但就算要增收税,也得公开成本,数字透明,对吧?
希望有更多的群友能扫码入群,分享信息,贡献自己的时间和智慧,关心自己的钱袋和市政。还有群友提议就市警或RCMP的选择进行公投,您的意见?欢迎在文末留言
