DON QUIXOTE VS. CITY HALL When an American gets mad, he says "where's my Gun". When a Canadian gets pissed off he says "Where is my pen, I'm going to send a letter to the EDITOR". When the EDITOR won't publish his letter he sets up his own BLOG page. When I received enough support to get a Council Seat the dogma of the establishment became : "Better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside pissing in." (Only time will tell !)

Identical houses in Vernon and Coldstream compared for taxes.
They told me that it was unfair to compare the same price house in Kelowna against one in Vernon.
So I simply compared two houses that sit on opposite sides of the boundary line in Coldstream and Vernon. The prime difference seems to be City Taxes (including Fire) in Vernon that are substantially higher than comparable Coldstream rates.
These two identical homeowners can access the same regional amenities but the Coldstream homeowner has more money in his pockets after he pays his property taxes.

Best comparison yet. And Coldstream would not help towards the cost ($3million) for fixing Middleton Way)-where according to Beardsell, one half the traffic is from Coldstream, and Coldstream thinks that their water costs should be subsidized by Vernon-"country living at its finest"-at the expense of Vernon!
