A promise from the NDP Party today concerning property taxes.
If elected to power on Monday, the party’s plan is to turn control of property taxes over to municipalities.
Quispamsis NDP Candidate Matt Doherty tells CHSJ News, the party would reduce the number of municipalities from over 400 to near 100 and transfer specific responsibilities to new municipalities and increase their power.
Doherty says municipal governments are out of step with the rest of the country and what home-owners expect and the current one-size fits all format doesn’t work.
