‘Assessment notice’ angers residents

Several Saanich Peninsula resi-
dents got on the phone to com-
plain last week, after realizing that
a Notice of Assessment they
received was actually an election
ploy by the Social Credit Party.

Bobbie McConnell of Sidney
was disgusted at this assessment
thing.

“1 don’t know what else to do
but call you I’m so indignant,” she
told The Review.

“That could be really frighten-
ing to people,” McConnell! said.
She called former MLA Mel Cou-
velier’s constituency office and
was directed to call Social Credit
headquarters on Cambie Street in

® Vancouver.

McConnell said the response
she received from headquarters
was not Satisfactory.

Saturday, Saanich North and
The Islands Social Credit candi-
date Richard Holmes called for the
campaign chairman in Vancouver
responsible for the Notice of
Assessment to be fired.

In an all candidates meeting
broadcast on Shaw Cable 11 com-
munity television Thursday even-
ing, Holmes apologized for the

notice and called it inflammatory
and inappropriate.

Other residents also called The
Review office about the green-
colored Notice of Assessment that
lists $18,860 as the amount due
and includes three payment plans
including a $3,772 annual pay-
ment of $314.33 per month for the
next five years,

Resident John MacKenzie of
Orchard Avenue said the notice
“is almost identical to a constant
Magazine scam that’s been going
on for 30 years where they send a
bill and if you pay it, fine, if you
don’t, it’s fine too.”

MacKenzie says his eyesight is
not perfect and he had to read the
notice three times before he real-
ized not to send money,

“] think my parents would go
right through the roof,” he said. “I
know for a fact if they had to come
up with another 300 bucks a
month, it’s heart attack time.”

He questioned where the prov-
ince’s debt came from and won-
dered if the “fraud squad” could
investigate and lay charges.

Bazan Bay resident Phyllis

Head said the notice “hits straight

PRESSING THE NOZZLE gingerly was the name of the game
for young people who were encouraged to ‘gel a feel

A newcomer to the province,
Head asked if this is a further
indication of the “lack of class”
Premier Rita Johnston demonstrat-
ed in the public debate last week.

“I’m furious that a political
party would spend money to send
a notice like this,” Head said.

In a press release dated Oct. 1,
the Social Credit government
tabled a three-volume critique of
the NDP policy document saying
it would create “an astounding

$15.3 billion deficit.”
