Down Three Per Cent in a Year

Not three per cent fewer property tax accounts were paid in 2016 versus last year, but three per cent fewer dollars!

The deadline of July 4th came and went, and tax revenue is three per cent lower at the City of Vernon.

"The difference could be a large property owner not paying on time," said a City communications officer, according to the Morning Star today.

"So once he or she pays up--more likely a whole whack of small property owners", grins Kia "the city's coffers will again be bulging."  


Maybe the next 160-word Morning Star story will actually provide some substantive information.

...the drivel that masquerades as a story these days!
