Dear Editor:
I was delighted to read in your story about the City of North Vancouver tax hike that there are councillors in office willing to take a stand against the constant and insane increases in property tax.
This, despite the huge increases in new housing and its subsequent larger tax base, permit fees etc. Kudos to Couns. Rod Clark and Pam Bookham.
The problem always with bureaucracy is that those in it will naturally tend to secure their own position and expand their power base. Compare that to a private sector equivalent, where they would be trying to reduce bureaucracy and costs in all aspects of the business.
Thank you to those two councillors for at least trying to do the right thing.
David Samuel
