Mike "Coviet" Tower, long time Town Councillor trougher [paid $2000 per month] is a retired Liquor Store worker, property owner, and grandfather to a "non binary" child and he is upset about solar panels not being on the ice rink building yet and he thinks the government's job is to provide housing? Builders build housing and government needs to get out of their way and let them do that; not hinder them.. since when was it government's job to create housing in a free market capitalism system the public has housing options both to purchase or rent from developer and private builders... so what has happened to hinder that? Government regulation, over-taxation, and permit processes that are expensive and drawn out. There is no shortage of land in Canada. . . so what is the problem here?
"Members of Tantramar Town Council called for more spending on housing and climate change initiatives last week before approving the $17.9 million town operating budget for 2025.
“Housing is a major issue and it’s not being looked at here at all,” said Councillor Michael Tower who also criticized the draft budget for not allocating more than $50,000 to fight climate change.
“I think that’s a real shortcoming,” he said, adding that the climate change advisory committee needs more support for initiatives such as installing solar panels on town buildings including the Tantramar Veterans Memorial Civic Centre."
