FACT CHECK The Fedeli Version

On Thursday September 8,

CKAT reported: PC candidate Vic Fedeli: He says there wouldnt have been a tax increase with more provincial funding support and he makes the pledge that they will not raise taxes. THE FACTS: Every year he was Mayor, Vic Fedeli did raise taxes. The previous Conservative government downloaded services and costs to municipalities. Over the last eight years the Liberal government has uploaded services and costs to municipalities. When the uploading is fully implemented in 2018 North Bay will benefit from over $4.8 million in savings. This includes the upload of court security which the Hudak PCs will not complete. The Ontario Liberal government has invested over $190 million in the City of North Bay over the last eight years. In addition to the over $16 million the City receives annually from the province for operations, over the last seven years the City of North Bay has received over $7 millions in gas tax funding to assist with public transit and funded the construction of the new Oak Street Transit Terminal.
