Alberto DeFeo on community economic growth

On Friday, Jan 6th - District of Lake Country CAO Alberto DeFeo wrote about concerns about taxation from the business community - view that blog post here

Yesterday - Mr. DeFeo followed that blog post up with another talking about the need to wean off dependence on property taxation and more on growing local economic growth to generate the dollars need for local government - view that blog post here

While Mr. DeFeo was speaking specifically about the District of Lake Country, his words can also apply to most of Rural BC as well and I would suggest that most local elected officials in Rural BC would be very wise to heed his advice for their local government (whether a Regional District or Municipal Council)
