TAXES
I appreciate Anne Findley Stewart's comment. I find that she has good measured judgement. It concerns me as a resident who pays taxes, that the are so many on the Sunshine List. Not enough people live here to endure such costs. This is most concerning that it doesn't require any explanation from the Mayor.

The people who work at the city hall don't seem to want to be questioned about anything. When they are, they are incredibly rude and abrupt. That was my experience anyway. You have great math skills Jim. Your graphs are amazing !!

You are Tackling the Hard Issues Head On
RemakeCouncil.com tackles the hard questions about local governance that many residents have been thinking but didn't know how to articulate. The point about reducing council size to make positions accessible to working families is brilliant - I never considered how the current pay structure effectively locks out half our population from running. The contrast between spending $100K on art gallery consulting while refusing portable washrooms for the homeless really drives home the priorities problem. This isn't just complaining - they offer practical solutions backed by real numbers. Every Owen Sound voter should read this before the next election. Finally, someone is holding our elected officials accountable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

You Opened My Eyes
Wow - this site really opened my eyes to what's happening with Owen Sound's municipal spending! The breakdown of how our tax dollars are being spent is eye-opening, especially the comparison showing our management salaries are 30% higher than similar cities. I had no idea about the $85,000 visioning study that was kept from the public or how speaking time at council meetings was cut. The writing is clear and factual without being overly political. As someone who's felt disconnected from city hall, this site makes me want to get more involved. Highly recommend for any Owen Sound resident who wants to understand where their tax money is really going! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
