Hiring 4 Parks staff in one year while the people in this town can barely afford groceries is ridiculous. This is not the year you should increase taxes indiscriminately.
Expand services, if needed, through expanded tax base, not through tax increases. This is not the time to expand the town's staff. Thank you Cory Clarke for speaking to this. Limit expenditures to the core municipal functions and let special interest groups pay for their projects out of their privately raised funds.
We receive very little services for our already high taxes. The mayor and council need to address the needs of our town and not the excessive spending and pandering to special interests groups.
I’m one year living here now, and a double digit tax increase, I’ve never experienced before, in York Region or Toronto. That is crazy high !
Tax increase is ridiculous. So many people who work for Town of Huntsville are on sunshine list . They always give themselves a nice raise at the expense of rate payers. Lots of people are set incomes and cannot afford those foolish expenditures set by people in office who should be working to help the ones who elected them.
Against the raise in taxes. It’s just making. The rich council members richer. Another cash grab from poor tax paying folks to be homeless.
Taxes that go to ideological causes doesn’t benefit the town, only creates greater division and poverty.

This is an outrageous tax increase! I got a measly 3% increase at work, and YOU councillors got a 17% increase! It's absolutely unconscionable to even entertain a 10.68% tax increase. We voted for you because we thought you cared. We pay your salary with our tax money. Groceries are becoming unaffordable. High Inflation created by irresponsible Politicians are causing homelessness. What does it take for the People to be heard? Why do Politicians make all the money, without making financial sacrifices, and disregard the people that voted them in? There HAS to be accountable. This Gravy Train has to stop. It's not reality.
