At least COVID-19 has brought all Sidney residents to appreciate our Sidney downtown retailers. As Joni Mitchell sang B次元官网网址淵ou donB次元官网网址檛 know what youB次元官网网址檝e got til itB次元官网网址檚 gone.B次元官网网址

For five years SOS has been claiming that for our retailers to pay double property taxes is inequitable. However, successive councils have taken the position that residents would never agree to take up the slack and, more importantly, retailers donB次元官网网址檛 have a vote. I would suggest that COVID-19 has changed all that.

I suspect that all Sidney residents would now heartily support retailers paying the same rate of property taxes as residents. Hopefully the current council will at long last do the right thing and end this onerous inequity on our struggling retailers.
