The Oshawa Express - Frugal politicians needed
   
Frugal politicians needed


Dear Editor:

First let me say that I have been reading your paper since its inception, and even though I live in Whitby, find the copy most interesting and informative--keep up the good work... Now for the purpose of this letter.

In a recent publication I read of a comparison of property taxes on homes in the GTA. They compared the taxes for a property valued at $400,000 in the 10 largest municipalities, and here are some of the numbers:

The lowest was Toronto-- $3411.37

The highest was Oshawa-- $6840.00

Please note that this is more than twice that of Toronto. What is the city doing with all the money, certainly not fixing roads. Gibb St. east of Park is like an off-road track.

It is time we voted out these irresponsible people and vote in persons who are frugal and won't hose taxpayers. Whitby wasn't much better with the taxes set at $5525.46. Time for serious changes at city hall.
