RICHARD JARVIS: ‘I prefer to see tax cuts for poor, elderly, unemployed, single mothers, low-paid workers + all those in real need’

SOOKE DEVELOPERS DON’T NEED TAX BREAK

Mayor Janet Evans might be trying to help her community with liberal tax cuts for developers (June 28), but it seems to me that these men have had a good thing for the past decade and should not require this tax break.

I would prefer to see tax cuts for the poor, the elderly, the unemployed, the single mothers, the low-paid workers and all those in real need, rather than helping a group that does not need it.

If Evans wants to see Sooke grow and prosper, she should concentrate on solving the congestion problem that occurs every working day on Highway 14.  Until this problem is resolved, Sooke will always have trouble attracting development.
