During their first year the Nanaimo Ratepayers Association's only web contact was via their Facebook site which unfortunately was not kept up all that well. (One of the joys of volunteer run organizations). The association now has a website with current and contact information for the group. The site can be seen at www.NanaimoRatepayers.com.
The organization will be holding their first AGM the second week of June which will be open to members only and will see the first annual report presented and the election of directors for the coming year.
The group has several exciting events planned for the coming months which will generate more interest in the group and encourage more weary taxpayers to add their voice for change at city hall.
The group notes that Nanaimo taxpayers will now be receiving their property tax notices for this year which will see most taxpayers having to pay even more taxes. The Nanaimo Ratepayers Association is drawing attention to the fact that taxes did NOT have to go up this year, if this city council had chosen to apply the $4million in over-taxation from last year to this year's increase.
City Council is always saying they want to hold the line on taxes, yet will pass up every opportunity to do just that, as witnessed by their recent decision to keep the $4million of over-taxation from 2013.
Information about joining the organization can be found on their website and by sending an email to Ratepayers@yahoo.ca.
