Mayor Kelly and the other members of HRM Council call it "tax reform". I have referred to it as a "tax re-shuffle" from the first and this article in the coast out lines exactly what is taking place in dollars and cents. What the people forced into HRM by John Savage and Liberal Party have to remember is this: the people who you elected to represent you on council not only sat there while this took place they voted for it. Click on the URL below to see exactly what the representatives of those people in the old "county" are doing to you.
