Taxation debate in Manitoba farm lands and schools
A Manitoba Association of School Trustees discussion paper questions the fairness of current school taxes on farm lands and buildings. Delegates, including Bill Morningstar, cite farmers paying far more per dollar of land value than urban residents, urging education taxes be levied only on dwellings like townspeople. The draft notes revenue shifts, rural burden concerns, and calls for broader change with final version due later this month.
