Province shelves possible tax deal for small/medium sized towns in Industrial Taxation issue

In the Vancouver Sun, they are reporting that the Province has told the delegates at the 107th UBCM Convention that it doesn't to follow through with a tax deal to help small and mediums towns/cities/villiages and districts deal with the thorny issue of industrial taxation

See here

Note - I'm of the opinion that the issue of Industrial Taxation should be settled on a community by community basis as the proposed deal between the Province & UBCM would not truly solve the issue of Industrial Taxation, which is that each community should look hard at the services it offers and ask if, given the economic circumstances, it is appropriate under the circumstances
