"Nova Scotia lost 4,100 jobs last month and unemployment rose to 9.2% (up.3%) Stats Can reported today. It was the worst performance in Canada last month."
Money is tight and jobs are vanishing. What are the MacDonald Government and the HRM government doing to offset this?
1. The MacDonald Government has hiked the land assessment for home taxes once again.
2. Jamie Muir hiked user fees across the board.
3. Premier MacDonald has down loaded the cost of the new convention Centre onto the HRM ratepayer.
4. Mayor Kelly and council are happy to go along with this and burden the already drowning ratepayers with more debt and annual subsidizes.
5. Mayor Kelly and some supporters, among them Linda Mosher, continue to push for that big economic black hole the high speed ferry
6. Don't forget the $50,000,000 plus Canada Winter Games. They have been very quiet about that cost since they signed on the dotted line on our behalf.
It seems that the recession and hard times are hitting everywhere except in the rank and file of our public officials and employees. There it's business as usual.
