Letter: Why another tax increase in Whistler?

'Generally, if you charge someone more, then you offer additional services'

We pay for parking. We pay for swimming. We pay for cross-country skiing. We pay for development permits. We pay for business licenses. And so on.

So where do out municipal tax dollars go? Sewage. Roads. Water. Police. Fire Department. Not really sure what else.

Generally, if you charge someone more, then you offer additional services. Not the Resort Municipality of Whistler. Another tax increase with no additional visible benefits.

So why the increase?

Inflation, I guess. Thanks, Justin.
