…the vast Orwellian bureaucracy known as the Municipal Property Tax Corporation (MPAC) …spent over $180-million in 2008, an 11% increase from 2007. This cost doesn’t even include the millions in subsidies that the government has to provide to seniors so they don’t lose their homes because of rising property taxes due to MPAC. …the McGuinty government has shown no interest in bringing in a fairer or more affordable municipal tax system, including this one. Perhaps the need to cut a $25-billion deficit will make them more serious about eliminating those government bureaucracies that Ontarians can do without.
