Mt A economist recommends giving local governments 1% of provincial HST

On today’s show, we talk with Mount Allison economist Craig Brett about his report on municipal financing, and why he’s recommending the province allocate 1% of the provincial HST to towns and cities to help fix longstanding problems such as the growing reliance on residential property taxes and a backlog of municipal infrastructure fixes.

Plus, we look at the agenda for Tantramar council’s committee of the whole meeting scheduled for Monday, with changes to height limits in downtown Sackville up for discussion.
