Good news everyone!
I have been in touch with Councillor Raymond Louie. He was able to have a motion passed at the last Vancouver council meeting, that \"any tax savings incurred in this labour dispute be used to reduce property taxes for City taxpayers in 2008.\"
It looks like our money won\'t be wasted! Thank you very much for your support! I will send all of the signatures that this petition has collected so far to Councillor Louie, to ensure that our voices continue to be heard.
Please check out the minutes of the council meeting to see how the debate played out.

Council held a vote today and agreed that tax savings from this labor dispute must go back to the people. I am sending this list of signatories to Councillor Louie to prove that residents are watching this process closely. Email your city representative now to confirm they will follow through on this motion.

The council has officially moved to put our tax savings back where they belong. This win shows that staying focused on the policy works. Send an email to your local representative today to ensure they follow through on this promise.
