Holding the Line on Taxes
"Taxpayer affordability has been a theme throughout the 2006-2010 term of Council. We have managed the Region's finances prudently to keep tax increases low. Including the zero per cent tax increase that residents will be receiving this year in 2010, we have managed to hold our tax increases to an average of just over one per cent per year for the past five years - a significant achievement given ongoing financial pressures."

GM Canada Announcement
"On April 27, 2010, GM Canada announced a $235 million dollar investment in its St. Catharines engine plant. Naturally, people are excited that this investment will translate into 400 direct jobs in our region. What's even better is that those workers will be building GM's next-generation of high-tech, aluminum block engines. Engines that meet tough emissions standards, and can run on E85 ethanol."
