CW ‘doesn’t care’

Dear Editor:

RE: Taxes to rise 7.4% in Centre Wellington, Dec. 21.

Happy New Year to the citizens of Centre Wellington, as we face the highest tax increase of all the counties in this area.

Thanks to the mayor and councillors for giving themselves a raise earlier and hiring an additional 14 positions.

When I read the following from the Erin area, “All of us are living with unprecedented inflation rates. How can you justify this to tax payers. We will defer items and decrease costs for road surface treatments.”

Thank you for having empathy for your Erin taxpayers, as Centre Wellington sure doesn’t care about their citizens. The tax rate increase is almost double other municipalities.
