While Prince Rupert residents have been busy grumbling about the recent tax notices issued by the City of Prince Rupert, they might be surprised to learn that in Prince George, we are being held up as some kind of promised land for those that have to pay.
Granted it’s only one letter to the editor writer offering up the example of a more parsimonious and pleasant Podunk, but you need to take your public relations gifts wherever they come from eh…
The frustrations of the taxpayer get a review below, the Rupert relevant passage highlighted in red… though we suspect that N. McLean hasn’t been here when the no see em’s come out, nor seen the state of many of the local roads and sidewalks here of late…
Yep, I tend to agree with you. I think they were just using the Rupert angle as a way to stir up the shit, much like we do with the always constant chatter of Terrace.
It’s really hard to compare PG and Rupert though, they have a number of services and industrial base that we don’t have, a larger population and one giant expense, snow removal that we couldn’t handle if we ever had the same kind of winter here.
Makes for good theatre though, and hardly anyone ever thinks twice about fact checking a letter to the editor eh!
