Fortunately some Sask Party supporters are willing to acknowledge their leadership is breaking Saskatchewan's bank. <br />Hopefully, Sask Party members will take their leadership to task & insist on more fiscal responsibility before this Governemnt bankrupts our province.<br />Although I am not a SaskParty supporter, I was willing to give Brad Wall the benefit of the doubt & thought he was doing a fairly good job. Sadly for our Province, Premier Wall did not learn from the mistakes of the PC Party & has taken our province from a surplus situation into another deep hole that will take us some years to recover from. Shame on you Premier Wall!!!Political Junkie2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11995008800809526681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319042645944598014.post-28969614641077019392009-12-03T08:25:20.054-06:002009-12-03T08:25:20.054-06:00Just curious.

If we end up paying either way, does it really matter if the cities have to pay more and the province less or vice versa? Maybe if you're a city politician it does, but in the end, does it make a difference?Stoonguynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319042645944598014.post-60710576378928691232009-12-02T20:40:17.407-06:002009-12-02T20:40:17.407-06:00Too bad Wall is continiung to break election promi...Too bad Wall is continiung to break election promises.

They said they would take away the taxing ability from school boards. AND THEY DID! Thank you very much. As to reducing property tax anyone with any sense of reality could tell you that any reduction in property tax was going to be tied to increased revenues elsewhere. ie royalties/PST. I doubt anyone thought there would be a reduction on behalf of the greedy school boards.<br /><br />I applaud the SaskParty for making the changes they did and delaying commitments is alright by me.The Grizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489821933279671944noreply@blogger.com
