We question the purpose these politicians serve. Is there some unwritten law or formal rule that prevents them from seeking equalization fairness? It seems so! Why are they not concerned about the high property taxes in the CBRM and the lack of funding that we receive from the $3.465 billion? It appears that these politicians are only interested in their high salaries and pension benefits, and they are not insignificant. The MLAs and MPs are under the misapprehension that mentioning the equalization issue is advocating on behalf of residents and the high taxes. Serious representation requires a paper trail as proof for the constituents of Cape Breton Island. We must stop electing those who are excepting being muzzled and afraid to stand up for our rights.
