| Marley, Kevin | Yes | The exclusionary practices of Ward Area Rating must be abolished, and municipal services should be provided equitably to ALL wards in the city and taxed accordingly. We are all part of the city of Hamilton and it is time we started acting like it. |
| Scime, John | Yes | The short answer is Yes, but phased. I do believe in addressing the area rating in an urban/rural aspect whereby removing area rating for any urban designated area. The issue becomes the urban perimeters and how they are outlined. I believe that the rural areas should not incur transit tax levy until we are able to implement viable transit to those areas. This is why I have qualified the Yes. |
