Halifax council votes for tax increase, reduced services

Another classic Pam Berman story here:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-...ease-1.5998802

It would almost seem that one of the dozens of HRM spin doctors sent a suggested headline and story to Berman and she just ran with it verbatim.

So despite a huge deed transfer tax windfall and growth in the assessment roll, our council could not resist spending even more than that would cover, so they are raising the average tax bill yet again. This one is a bit different than the usual chicanery that most citizens seemed to always ignore, though. This time there were dozens of people making their voices heard during the process, speaking out against giving the police more money or spending on other useless things. Yet our tone-deaf council spent anyway. Some, like Mason, Austin and Morse, wanted an even bigger tax increase. How out of touch can this bunch be?
