It was almost a year ago the Social Contract and other drastic budâ€" ces ces e is Paul La Course worries that recent reductions in funding â€" and therefore service â€" can be a foot in the door for widespread complacenâ€" cy about the level of that service. With new councils being sworn in at the local and regional levels, La Course is appealing to elected officials to get their priorities straight. "The politicians have to start prioritizing how they spend tax dolâ€" lars," said La Course, who believes the main concern of local elected officials has been simply flatlining millrate increases. While it‘s fine and good to build parks and pave parking lots, he continues, civic leaders must get back to basics. "To be using taxpayers money to do these types of things, while at the same time reduce the level of police services, is intolerable and the decision makers should be held accountable," said La Course, who believes local taxpayers deserve better.
