The Saskatchewan NDP say that Scott Moe needs to explain to Saskatchewan people if he agrees with one of his top ministers. the party says that Finance Minister Donna Harpauer has refused to rule out a property tax increase for homeowners in next year’s budget.

Wednesday night at a Regina Chamber of Commerce debate, in response to a question about property tax increases, the NDP says that Harpauer replied, “We have frozen the majority of our years. There will be, from time to time, increases, and I can’t say what the next budget will be.”

The New Democrats say, with 53 percent of Saskatchewan people $200 or less away from being broke by the end of the month, now would be the worst time to make life more expensive for everyone with added property taxes.
