The Pas and area face a decision on a centennial sports center beyond municipal taxes and grants. The committee studied ideas, held meetings, and chose a broad community benefit plan for hockey, figure skating, and summer activity. Success depends on local funding and volunteer effort.
The Pas notes a potential mill rate reduction after years of high taxation. Reasons include $18,000 in government grants in lieu of taxes, revaluation on new construction, and school tax shifts. Improvements were overdue but ongoing, with hopes for further cuts as projects finish and elected officials bear responsibility.
The community pushes for lower costs and rejects extra municipal duties such as police duties. This year the taxpayer pays $4 less per $1000 assessment and receives a school tax rebate equal to half the tax up to $100 or a flat $50 if over. The tone notes a welcome trend reversal in the tax picture.
The Manitoba Liberal party faced sharp criticism for snubbing a Manitoba Hydro question session on April 1 by absenting leader Mr Molgat and other members. The piece accuses the Liberals of petty politics, criticizing their calls for equalized power rates while failing to engage on Grand Rapids inquiries.
In The Pas the writer blasts CBC schedule accuracy for The Pas and Flin Flon stations. He cites weekly listings, late corrections, and Thursday Friday telegrams causing week old hockey games on air. He ends by praising Bud Simpson and Robert Thompson and notes a Commons exchange about CBC policies.
