What my question is ,if you look at SK most RM's have a fraction of the resource revenue and their mill rate are the same or less then AB ,and yet somehow they manage.I will use my county why does every subdivision have street lights and why are the ditches mowed 2-4 times a year an acreage owner can't mow their own ditches?I mow mine.Do we need new equipment every year ?Some counties go look at the shops and offices they have.If you actually look to some of the counties that are complaining the most have actually lowered their mill rate in the last few years.In some ways Pretice was not wrong when he said we need to look in the mirror,lots of the counties courted subdivision including running water and sewer to them,people in AB want city convinces but rural living,plus the counties just like the province became drunk on the O&G money.People and governments need to learn that you can't have your cake and eat it to
