Ashie says the reason hoe is using the 1972 costs is tliut in I1973 miany municipalities juggled thecir budgets iin pre- parution for egional gove rn- mient. 1le also says that the différences in costs for Pickering and Whitby are ulso1 nn mimal. "Pickering residents, on an ave rage assessnien t of $20 ,000, are now paying $131 compared to $130 ini 1972 and in Whitby the cost lias gone froni $127 to $133 on a homne assesscd at $5,000", says Ashie. "Tiiese virtual 'stand pat' amnounts ïare in spite of a flive year period of higlh inflation",1 increase in taxes, over the last five years, is niuch iower than the inflation rate ini the sanie period, according to Ashle. "In tthat context, one reali:'es what a ýommnendahie job the local miuniicipa-ýlities have donc ini naintaining the current, and in some cases imiproved, levels of service despite mninîial incroases", says Asile. Ashe also says argunments based on the dlaimi that xvhen provincial grants for the start- up of the region are remnoved, tax bills xiii rapidly increase, just don't bear out when you look at the facts. "Mos t of the start-up grants for tlhe local municipalitios have already ceased and the increase in the local portions of the tax bills.Jiave not been that severe in 1977", says Ashle. Ho also says that when the last of start-ul) grants to the region run out, there will be even iess impact because the increasod costs, if any, xvill be spread oi over the larger population of the region. "Whien you examine the actual costs of the region, it becomnes apparent that region- ai governmnent is provîng to be a financially viable forin of governiet". "And as an J ed officiai on a local, coL and regional cotîncil Siî.- 1970, 1 can't imagine xvhat it would be costing us in taxes withotît regional govenienýit", says Ashe.
