the town according to Acton Councillors Ross and Terry Grubbe Monday general committee received a report from treasurer Ray King urging town staff not appeal high and low assessments Appealing high and low assessments was an idea suggested by a few weeks ago during a visit to council by a group of Acton and Esquesing residents who support Section and feel their assessments are too high under the present system The taxpayers urged reconsider their decision to reject Section 86 but council didnt accept Committee also received a report Monday which explained the complicated equalization factors used throughout the town for assessments and taxes said It is obvious the province Is willing to come up with equalization factors but is either too lazy or just give a damn about how the factor spreads the tax burden over the four areas of Acton Georgetown and part of Oakville which were merged by Queen Park to form Halton Hills The province Is just laughing at Hills and saying they won change equalization factors even though they right he said However Knechtel said It la easy to blame the province for assessment problems In Halton Hills but council must still lake some res pons because the town has failed to ask Queens Park for any changes He said councillors simply don have any answers for inequities and the day is coming taxpayers will demand answers Councillors who voted against Section should be finding alternative answers We are saying a lot of things are wrong said she agreed after reading King s report treasury staff be appealing assessments She challenged those who rejected Section to consider setting up a committee to appeal assessments rather than have staff do the huge job Section was the best answer to assessment problems Grubbe maintained Councillor Pam
