Dear Editor:
I am writing in response to
Councillor Robert Lutczyk's letter
on Dec. 12.
He is "burned up by the hullabaloo"
about the outcry of property
owners in regards to our high property
taxes. His letter is just a reflection
of the backward bureaucratic
way of thinking our mayor and
councillors have these days.
The point is that it doesn't matter
if I chose to live in a $400,000
shack in Yorkdale or a $400,000
six-bedroom luxury mansion in
Timbuktu, if your property is worth
$ 400,000, then that is what it is
worth. If I chose to live in Toronto and
own a million dollar house, then
my property taxes should be in relative
proportion to a million dollar
property in any other urban area of
the province. That is not the case in
Oshawa.
