Budget Oh-Eight: Sensible Solutions for NB
After close to a year of advocating on behalf of New Brunswick taxpayers, I have decided to offer up a little advice to Finance Minister Victor Boudreau since he is about to drop his second provincial budget this Tuesday, March 18th.
In the document below, I have come up with "13 Sensible Budget Recommendations", from ending corporate welfare to reforming the property tax assessment system to ballot measures and legislation to stop tax hikes as well as balancing the books. When you get time, make sure you give it a glance. And if you like what you see, download the document and pass it around because remember, as I said in the "about" section of this blog, if we want the politicos to listen, taxpayers have to talk to each other first. A special thanks goes out to Spinks for getting the bugs out of the Scribd system.

well done!! i'll be sure to pass it around.
Bit late to be passing on advice for the 08 budget, don'cha think?
anon: much appreciated.
monctonite: Thanks for your comment and you make an excellent point. Just so you know, this is just a summary of a few points that were raised and sent out in January to the finance ministry via this address.
I think it's a safe bet to speculate that they have probably fallen on deaf ears. Although, I am still hopeful.
Good stuff nbt! I'm not sure what monctonite is complaining about, it's not like anybody else is offering up anything specific as an alternative. As they say, better late then never!
Thanks bill.
