$6,400 Per Household

There's a December 2004 letter from Herb & Dolores Richmond at pyramid.awardspace.com. Nothing special about the letter but
it does emphasize that ordinary St Marys Ontario citizens knew years ago that Councillor Gerry Teahen was on the wrong track with the St Marys Ontario Living Life Project.

The letter begins by saying 'We have to deal with our council. They are so one-sided that if they get their way we will never be out of debt with regards to the Living Life Project.' and ends with 'Please do not come to our home expecting a donation for the Living Life Project'

Since this letter was written Gerry Teahen has solved the problem of 'coming to homes for donations' by just adding the $16 million cost of the Living Life Project to the town's taxes for the next 20 years.

The cost to the St Marys Ontario ratepayers for the Living Life Project in round figures is quite easy to calculate. You divide LLP cost of $16,000,000 by 2500, the number of St Marys households.

St Marys Cement is giving $1 million and Solis $400,000. St Marys Hospital, St Marys Hockey and the Kinsmen are fundraising $850,000. So St Marys taxpayers are only really liable for $13,750,000. Divide that by 2500 households and you get $5,500.
Bet that makes taxpayers feel a whole lot better.
