In Halton Region, the Milton- Oakville riding more than 72,000 cast their ballots with 59.4 per cent in favor of the accord and 40.0 per cent opposed. In Burlington, more than 51,500 ballots netted the Yes side 56.5 per cent of the vote while 42.9 per cent came down on the No “ think it indicates that there’s a Councillors want closer look at MVA Continued from page 1 “The genie is out of the bottle. Now, we have to find out how to put it back,” Bird said. He also warned that any gains achieved by Burlington through implementa- tion of the new tax system will be “short-lived.” While there’ll be a tax shift of $4 million from Burlington to Oakville if the system goes ahead next year, Bird predicted Burlington won’t fare as well when MVA is based on 1992 market val- ues in four years’ time. If the new system is adopted for the 1993 taxation year, it will be based on 1988 market values.

Bonnette said 68 per cent of all industries in Halton Hills will see a tax increase if MVA is implement- ed. In addition, 86 per cent of all Acton homeowners will face a moderate tax increase under the new system. Bonnette said he favors deferral of MVA for “another year or two” until its have been Halton ‘Hills.

I read parts of it and I don’t fully understand it myself. I think a lot of people that voted don’t fully under- stand it,” he added. Another man reflected that “I thought the yes might have been a little higher.” Halton-Peel results: GRAM'S POUTING CHAIR Measures 24" high, 13" wide, 12" deep.
