20 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday October 5, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com FOR MANY ONTARIO HOMEOWNERS PROPERTY TAXES ARE ABOUT TO GO THROUGH THE ROOF. THE 2008 ASSESSMENT COVERS THE LAST THREE YEARS OF REAL ESTATE INCREASES. CAN YOU GUESS WHAT YOUR TAXES WILL BE? YOUR VOTE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON OCTOBER 10TH We are the Coalition After Property Tax Reform (CAPTR) and we urge Ontario property owners to think carefully when voting. We are calling for a 5% cap on annual assessment increases. Talk to candidates in your riding about their positions on property tax reform and think about how a potential cap can protect YOU from huge tax hikes. We believe the present property tax system bases your share of taxes on a volatile and shifting real estate market. The PC Party will put a 5% cap on annual assessment increases. The NDP has called for an assessment freeze until property sale. Why is the Liberal Government not yet dealing with volatility? So far it is simply letting you pay your tax hikes in installments. Be sure you're informed before you vote. For more information, visit us at www.captr.org P.O. Box 263 Ste. 200 131 Bloor St. W. Toronto, Ontario M5S 1R8 IT'S YOUR MONEY. IT'S YOUR VOTE. CAPTR is a non-partisan coalition of more than one million Ontarians formed to lobby for a fair residential property tax system.
