Letters to the editor Residents urge Minister to re-assess fairness of Bill 100 Ac oPY of the following letter has heen sent to the Minister of Educatjon, the Honourable Chris Ward. Dear Minister, Enclosed, please find a petition circulated and signed by close to 200 property owners of the Unorganized Areas in the Lake Superior School Board jurisdic- tion. We are greatly concerned about the unfair taxes we have been burdened with over the last The Arthritis Society Is Presently Campaigning The Communities of Schreiber, Terrace Bay, including Jacfish, Rossport and Pays Plat. The Knights of Columbus and volunteers will be canvassing over the next three to four weeks and wish to thank area residents for their continued support over the past years and hope their generosity will-help the canvassers reach the Goal of $4000.00 Please Contact Ed Borutski Roger Fournier 824-2308 825-9315 four (4) years. Bill 100 has addressed the problem of tax escalation, but has done nothing concerning the resulting high tax base. We like to point out that the Unorganized Areas (Localities) consist of small year-round communities, cot- tages, and small tourist establish- ments. In several cases, pension- ers live in these localities and they are particularly hard hit. The gold boom may have brought development to Marathon and Manitouwadge, but we can- not understand the fact that peo- ple living or having small busi- ness hundreds of kilometers away have to be burdened with the expense resulting from municipal developments in these areas. ' We repeat again: We want to pay fair taxes, but our grievances have only partly been addressed by Bill 100. We expect a fair solution as requested in the forwarding of this petition.
