Police Chief Ebenezer Beazley and Mayor Jacob Kelly


The cash registers are ringing in a green Christmas it seems. At least in HRM's tax coffers if no where else thanks to the senseless annual (most years) winter parking ban. Mayor Kelly lead council and the Police Chief Beazley lead police department (seen at left not exactly as pictured) have teamed up to slam dunk tens of thousands of potential Christmas cheer dollars into the city's pocket. Councillor Sue Uteck is quoted as calling the ban “a tax grab on behalf of HRM,”, Next time Mayor Kelly asks if there is any new business in at council
can we expect to see Councillor Uteck stand and put forth a motion to do away with the ban? I doubt it! Get on the phone or your E Mail and tell Mayor Kelly enough is enough. The city will give you any number of reasons to keep the ban but the the truth is it's a very successful cash cow they get to milk annually.
Merry Christmas from the Halifax Gazette
