UBCM vs Canadian Federation of Indp. Business on Taxes

In the Maple Ridge News - Port Coquitlam Mayor (and UBCM - Union of BC Municipalities Vice-President) Greg Moore and Surrey Councillor (and UBCM President) Barbara Steele counters' arguments put forth by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) on rising business taxes.  CFIB's argument is backed by the Canadian Taxpayers' Federation

See the article here

Pls note - There has been local discussion on the spread of local taxation between business/heavy industry and residents.  In a recent poll, some were concerned about property taxes and the next WL Council will have to look seriously at this issue to get some control on taxation including residential, business and heavy industry and will likely involve some form of local service cuts.
