Editor:
I was reading an article in the Dec. 3 Calgary Herald “Alberta mountain towns facing steep tax hikes as municipalities deal with outside pressures.”
Canmore Mayor Sean Krausert was quoted as saying “the amount of taxes that I pay each month on my home is less than my cellphone bill and I get so much more with my taxes, based on garbage collection and street clearing and administrating the community in which I live.”
I can’t believe that any ratepayer in Canmore has a cellphone bill that large, or pays that little for property taxes. Maybe if Mayor Krausert could elaborate on that statement, it would clear up a few questions I have.
Neil Hannah,
