NDP members formerly voted as a party against the legislation, claiming that the levies "represented little more than a regressive head tax on new home buyers," he said. In reply to a survey taken by the Ontario Home Builders' Builders' Association prior to last year's election, Bob Rae said: "Lot levies are simply a new method devised by the Liberals to duck responsibility responsibility for the provision of important important services around the province. Schools, cultural and recreation/fitness facilities facilities are basic public services and should be provided out of general public revenue." The Liberal government, said Mr. Rae, was not adequately adequately funding municipalities. municipalities. This resulted in local councils having to raise property taxes and look for additional sources of income. In addition, answered Mr. Rae, the levies appealed to the Liberal government because they got them off the hook and dumped the cost onto new home buyers. "Clearly this increases the price of new homes as well," ne said. The home builders will be reminding the government of its previous position when as it continues to fight against lot levies for education. education. DURHAM REGIONAL CRIME STOPPERS . 436-8477 . .
