Ottawa residents lash at Vision committee plans and tax hike fears
Frank and Vista Hanson of Ottawa condemn the Vision committee and city commissioners for pushing costly ideas like a $40 million swimming pool and a light rail system. They criticize inviting outsiders, oppose central school relocation, and warn that approving any plan will triple taxes within months. They urge voters to reject the commission and keep neighborhood schools, urging parish church and community life instead.
