matter and it is a legislated responsibility of all gta municipalities he said it is too early to say what well do but we hope that richmond hill will see the importance of pooling for the gta council voted unanimously monday not to pay the towns share of this years tax pooling bill money collected in municipal property taxes and sent through the region to toronto to help fund the citys social services and wel fare costs mayor bill bell has often complained about the practice saying it is unfair to require the municipalities to remit taxes to another jurisdiction when they have no input into how the money is spent as well as their populations grow area municipalities have an evergreater need for funding for services the region has paid about 600 mil lion to toronto since 1998 the year the arrangement was introduced ministry officials do not believe the protest is warranted and do not expect other municipalities to join richmond hills action mr hamilton said we believe that gta equalization is a fair and reasonable approach to shar ing costs so hopefully everyone else will choose to stay he said other councils in york region have yet to follow richmond hills lead newmarket mayor tom taylor agrees with richmond hill mayor bill bells point but stressed york region munici palities cant make that decision i agree with what bill bell is doing in richmond hill but richmond hill doesnt really have a choice if we dont do it they will deduct from transfers mr taylor explained nancy nessrine nancy nessrine formerly of liz paul 3 years is welcoming all her clients to her new
