Regional Councillors Advised Seniors Seek Lower School Tax by Rob Savage Property tax rebates to seniors were challenged by Durham's regional councillors councillors last week. Councillors voted to ask the Ontario government to review the $500 grants to senior homeowners -- an amount which is intended to offset educational costs. They said the provincial government should make the grant more equitable with the rising portion of education costs on the tax bill. The action followed a delegation delegation from Raymond Adair of the Durham Region Region Senior Citizens' Council who complained about the effects of rising education costs on seniors. He argued that education . taxes continued to rise while the $500 grants intended intended to offset those costs have remained static. He said seniors who continue continue to live in homes are paying high costs for an educational system which their children no longer use. "I like to see children educated," Mr. Adair said, "but it's getting beyond our means to pay that." He added that the seniors' group does not wish to be exempt from school taxes but would like their portion of the costs reduced. reduced. "We would like to see that lowered, not taken away from us," he said. Mr. Adair argued the greater burden of educa tional taxes should be borne by dual income families and corporations which derive move benefits from the educational system system at the current time. He added that the seniors who choose to remain in homes reduce the region's costs towards homes for the aged and that they should be supported in their efforts efforts to continue independent independent living. For their part, most councillors councillors backed Mr. Adair's claims. Oshawa Councillor Tom Edwards said the seniors who choose to remain in homes should be helped because because they lessen the burden burden on regional services. "Are you aware that you are a member of a growing, expanding group in number and influence called 'grey power,"' Councillor Edwards Edwards asked Mr. Adair. Mgyor John Winters backed the argument that seniors bore the educational educational costs in the past when their children use the system system and he suggested the children should now be required required to return those costs in some way. In response, Mr. Adair said he was not seeking anything anything extreme but that the seniors' group just wanted their share of the education costs lowered. "When the cost is getting beyond our means for education, education, we should have it lowered," he said. Bikkens Super quality wood coatings engineered to stand up against the elements.
