DEAR News Of The Area,
IS it any wonder voters are turning increasingly towards Independent candidates?
The pathetic, desperate bribes being offered last week by both sides of government presented an embarrassing spectacle.
I fail to understand why taxation is a dirty word.
We pay or have paid taxes in our working lives to have the services we all take for granted and to expect the services without paying for them is unrealistic to say the least.
The tax cuts in the latest offer will mean money withdrawn from less sexy existing services with the hope that we won’t notice or care.
I wait for a government which looks beyond the next electoral cycle.
Regards,
Margaret ENGLAND,
Toormina.
