The mayor’s office and the key voters on the council’s negotiation is intensifying due to the tax debate at city hall in one week. This debate is about consensus to approve a land transfer tax on the purchase of a home and a car registration fee for 2008. Politician Mr. Milczyn helped the mayor to win the debate by one-vote in July, he supports the idea but he wants the cost to be reduced. The land transfer tax of up to 2 per cent and a 60 dollar fee to register car ownership. Many of the councillors believes that the mayor can make a good compromise and get a victory in the debate.
My opinion is that I support the tax and I believe that the mayor will win the debate, this is because many are supporting the mayor already, the mayor just have to make small adjustments to the plan and it will surely earn him votes. I support the tax because I would not think that this is a huge tax, it can bring $356-million a year in total which could be used for good deeds.
