"Your Farm Tax Class Income Threshold report is a classic..."
Your Farm Tax Class Income Threshold investigation report was a hit this morning with the Regional Planning Committee…there was agreement that urban municipalities need to engage in this issue because it requires a regional approach. I certainly appreciated the effort you made on the report – it is a classic!
