"Some people would bave you believe this 18 not possible, but when I am Mayor it will be done!" Soon after the election Mayor Emm will propose to council a freeze on tbe Town's sbare of realty taxes. Whitby staff in all departments will be directed te review tbeir budgets to find ways of cutting costs witbout damaging services. Jncreased costs due to inflation will be met by extra revenue received due te growtb. For example if growtb is 8% and inflation only 5%, tbere wili be money left over to improve existing services. In new subdivisions developers will be requlred te pay more toward necessary services. This may reduce their huge profits, but competition will prevent the increased developer costs from being passed on to homebuyers. Expanded recycling and composting wlll reduce the volume of garbage Whltby produces. This will prevent the large tax increases due te blgber'dumping fees now being tbreatened by Mayor Attersley and otbers. A larger share of federal and provincial funds will be sougbt by Mayor Emm te improve basic services such as transportation and bospital care." A fair distribution of funds from other levels of government will help us avoid local tax increases," Emm says. Service clubs and other private sources will be encouraged te contribute to the cost of new parks and community centres. Tourism will ha aggressively promoted and new industry sought, to provide expanded revenue. "Taxes bave been controlled in Markharn, Etobicoke, North York and other growing municipaities, and they can be frozen in Whitby," Emm declares.
