An Update on the 2018 Tax Rates This message is brought to you by Port Hopers for Fair Taxes. Today’s news relates to the 2018 tax rates in By-Law 40/2018 that was passed by Council on May 15, 2018. For Ward 1 (Urban) the 2018 levy against tax bills is $15,288,190 (up 2.57% from $14,905,259 last year). For Ward 2 (Rural) the 2018 levy against tax bills is $3,558,750 (up 19.83% from $2,969,730).

The Court Order was simple and straightforward: MPH was to account for the income earned on the Fund and all payments made out of the Fund. MPH produced an accounting dated October 27, 2016. There appear to be a number of mistaken assumptions and misleading conclusions.
