Opinion: Expand city limits to collect more tax income

They all know they're saving on their property tax bill and surely would not squawk about paying their fair share.

An expansion of Prince George's city limits is long overdue. We need the revenue that the Regional District can live without.  We don't have the tax base to keep the services being provided. 

One example would be to include Beaverly and Mud River properties within the city limits.  They use our roads and services so they should pay municipal taxes, not the lower regional tax rate. 

They all know they're saving on their property tax bill and surely would not squawk about paying their fair share.

For all those property owners that could be affected by a broader city boundary, please feel free to explain why you should continue to pay less than your fair share of taxes.
