The Northumberland Taxpayers Coalition Takes a Pioneering Approach to Fighting Taxes
A new countywide taxpayers group formed this fall in Northumberland announced today that it will be making its first delegation to County Council tomorrow.
The Northumberland Taxpayers Coalition (NTC) is comprised of The Port Hope Ratepayers Association, the Cobourg Taxpayers Association, The Cramahe Community Association and the Citizens Council for Hamilton Township.
The CTA wrote to Deputy Mayor Henderson and Council several months ago to ask how our town was doing financially with respect to the budget. We wanted to know if we were on track or whether we were over budget. We were disappointed because we were not given the actual spend numbers.
