Tarne Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 And still nobody has done a jobby on Tynwald Hill in a dirty protest. Disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truth Seeker Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Toilet tax: no appeals allowed. The Manx Utilities Authority has rejected the idea of allowing people to appeal against the toilet tax this year. In a statement, the organisation headed by Alf Cannan MHK says its board considered the request at a meeting earlier today. However, its now been decided no appeals will be heard and everybody who pays water rates will have to pay the £50 per property. It says its reviewing the charge and appeals process and says it will present options to the Treasury and the council of ministers. http://www.manxradio.com/newsread.aspx?id=71214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is Teare and COMIN and those in Tynwald who voted YES who will have to carry the can for this nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FACT Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 It was always Teare pushing it through, Haughton took the money to put it to Keys. Same as it was Teare that pushed through the nursery debacle using Karran as the scapegoat. When will people realise Teare is a coward but with the backing of an even bigger bully, Bell.

Manxtrust Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Unfortunately, we can now add Cannan to the list of MHKs that take the pay and close their eyes to what the public feel. HOUGHTON, QUIRK, KARRAN, TEARE, BELL, SHIMMIN, ROBERTSHAW & CANNAN have to be removed in 2016. New blood is required for the House of Keys.

If true, then it might well be an indicator that the Sewerage Charge is indeed nothing to do with the water side of things and is nothing more than a fund raiser to try and make a dent in the MEA debt. Wasn't the Water Authority debt properly approved, structured and sustainable?...the MEA debt being none of those things, as we are all painfully aware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Trumps Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Presumably Houghton was told 'find savings of £2m" His civil servants told him they couldn't find savings of £2m Houghton believed them Ergo £2m charge to users £10.5m of public money still available to buy middlemarch site & some office block in town Conclusion: we are all being conned by this lot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
