No dividend?

Residents insist there is a need for the City of Vernon to reduce taxes

We applaud Vernon Mayor Akbal Mund's metaphor that city hall should run like a business.

Now if he will just extend this logic to include dividends (tax rebates), we would be overwhelmed.

Given the fact that commercial permit activity has grown by more than 2,000 per cent - $833,500 during the first four months of 2015 to $22.9 million this year (Morning Star, May 27), we feel the investors (taxpayers) could use a dividend  (tax rebate).
