Eccles Criticizes Walker Over Uploads

eccles_cand_debLiberal Candidate Kevin Eccles is condemning the Hudak PC downloading scheme that he says will drive up your property taxes.

Eccles also criticized local Conservative candidate Bill Walker’s knee-jerk solution for Owen Sound to recover its costs of providing court security by imposing a surcharge on criminals rather than have a Conservative government honour the agreement between municipalities and the province.

Eccles says that a Liberal government will continue to implement the negotiated uploading agreement under which the City will receive from the province compensation for court security cost.

“This is a provincial issue and no municipality should be placed in a position of having to seek recovery of its court security costs from those who have been fined or sentenced to jail” said Eccles, “Property taxes will skyrocket in Grey and Bruce Counties under Tim Hudak and PC candidate Bill Walker as they cut services and download onto municipalities. The Hudak PCs are hazardous for those of us who pay property taxes.”

Eccles says that the last PC government stuck municipalities with a $3 billion bill for provincial programs like seniors’ drug costs and services for the disabled or unemployed. This left less money in municipal budgets for other services like policing or snow removal, making property taxes rise.

Ontario Liberals partnered with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) on a plan for uploads from your property tax bill. When finished, the uploading would put municipalities like those in Grey and Bruce Counties on stable footing so they can plan for the future.

Eccles feels that uploading social costs to the province is vital to the stable financial future of municipalities throughout Ontario and offering up private members bills, as an alternative to honouring the full uploading agreement, is an insult to those municipalities who expect and demand the agreement with the Province be honoured. Ontario municipalities are united in saying “province, take back your social costs,” says Eccles.

According to Eccles, when mayors across Ontario asked PC leader Tim Hudak about finishing the job of uploading costs, he left them with a clear message and a disappointed Mayor Hazel McCallion who after listening to Hudak said his position is all too obvious, “he was very clear. He is going to stop it”.

“He talked about his need to make cuts to pay for the 229 promises in his platform. With a $14 billion hole in that platform, he will not only stop uploading but start downloading — which means property taxes will go up,” says Eccles.

“The City of Ottawa said that Hudak’s PCs are going to cause a property tax hike of six per cent, or $186 per household,” said Eccles. “It will be the same or worse here in our riding. “Ontario Liberals work together with municipalities because we share the same goal — a better quality of life in our cities and towns.”

“The uploads that have been undertaken – and will yet be undertaken by a Liberal Government – play an important role in ensuring Municipalities can keep residents’ property taxes stable and service delivery high,” says Eccles.
