Town’s 6.44 per cent tax rate increase “unacceptable”

A 6.44 per cent tax rate increase is just unacceptable. 

Mayor Prue said, “It’s the best council could do.”  

The Libro Centre is losing over $2.5 million per year. What are you doing to fix that?

Our police department costs us $3 million more than Kingsville’s police department. What are you doing to fix that?

You put over $700,000 into a so-called “tourism department.” Where does all that money go?

I read in the River Town Times that the Ontario government gave Amherstburg over $19 million since 2019. Where did all that money go? 

Inflation is up, costs are up, and now you want to tax us more. 

Mayor Prue, if that’s the best you can do, then your best is not good enough.
