Councillor Alex Wilchowy unleashed a tirade at a council meeting against a report by secretary treasurer Tony Moule. The mayor failed to rebuke the attack as Moule performed a mandated duty. The piece argues for reform to modernize and reduce costly, outdated practices.
After one year the Matuova Government foundation program faces widespread attack as the 1968 levy rises from 9 33 to 13 1 37 mills to keep within an 85 percent tax dollar contribution. Critics say the public was misled about a firm 35 percent ceiling while costs rise across districts.
The Pas bears a heavy burden from a lopsided tax structure with grants in lieu of taxes on provincial government buildings. Officials say this lowers municipal revenue by about $70 000 and forces higher local taxes on individuals and small businesses. Northern education costs and teacher recruitment further strain finances as government funding remains indirect and unequal.
Mayor Harry Trager pressed for the school budget at last Wednesday’s council session. Finance chair Bernstrom ruled the school budget separate from the town budget and warned Connet to begin serious budgeting. The School Board’s delay after the March 15 deadline prompted questions about grant computations with Winnipeg officials. The board sent two members there to review discrepancies in grant structure. The piece notes the board’s preparedness when seeking government funds and hints at a likely rise in the provincial levy to 4.1 mills and a foundation grant levy shift from 9 mills tolo,1 mills on commercial property, with the school budget due in a week or two.
