Tax freeze delay a logical move Published Friday December 3rd, 2010

We find it somewhat surprising that some advocacy groups for seniors are being critical of the proposed help for seniors.

What kind of advocacy group ever opposes a assessment freeze or advocates higher taxes for their constituency population? What's going on? The premier needs to find out.

We understand the concern that the intent of the promise was to ensure seniors would not be forced out of their homes by increasing property taxes, yet there are some seniors who do not face that threat. Should they be included in a freeze? Let's consult.
