Discussion
2 commentsI would like to know the views of the councillors about forcing people to have a cell phone to access city services such as parking. Are you in favour of this? A simple yes or no answer without rhetoric. You are welcome to offer reasons after a yes or no, but please lead off with a yes or no answer
Taxes are getting up, is hamilton open to attract large business? Seems to be very slow at that. In turn driving up taxes onto the general population??
