Councilor Shelley Carroll on repeal of Vehicle Registration Tax

This speech by Councilor Shelley Carroll (12/16/10) lays out the battle lines in the coming war over tax cuts versus service cuts. She sketches out how services, infrastructure and taxes are connected - and supposes elected representatives need to do a better job of communicating these ideas.

But I think she misses the point that in the fall of 2007, when the Vehicle Registration Tax (The Personal Vehicle Tax) was passed into law, a series of things combined to create a cost of living increase for residents of Toronto not seen in probably 20 years - since the last tax revolt by voters of this city.
