Dear Editor
It’s time for me to do some ranting again about the pros and cons of living in Battleford or North Battleford. Are there any cons for living in Battleford?
Their drinking water is fantastic. No contamination, ever.
They get a 10 per cent discount for paying their taxes early, then I believe it’s eight per cent all the way down to three per cent. North Battleford gives no discount and that hasn’t kept taxes from going up.
We have a new water plant, new arts facility, swimming pool and curling rink. I pay more taxes than my sister in Saskatoon with the same-sized residence.
Battleford has garbage pick up from grey bins weekly. Ours is every two weeks and sometimes in the summer it’s pretty foul, even though it’s only half full.
Hmmm, Battleford is sounding pretty good, isn’t it? Even North Batteford’s director of operations lives in West Park.
