Part 3 - Big Issues - Minimal Coverage

You can find Part 1 and Part 2 in the archives.

Large Tax Hikes in Tecumseh! Boy you have to hand it to Tecumseh Mayor Gary McNamara and Deputy Mayor Tom Burton, the co-top honchos in the town of Tecumseh. Without even turning one pale shade of red, these two have clobbered their ratepayers with huge municipal tax increases over the past 3 years. According to a recent story by Gary Rennie of the Windsor Star, taxes in Tecumseh increased 6.8% in 2007, 5.9% in 2008. This year's tax increase will be 4.4%.

The coverage in the Windsor Star has been pathetic, and that is being polite. When is the Windsor Star going to get serious and give this issue the time and space it deserves? Huge tax increases right in the middle of the Great Recession.
