Mayoral candidate Giorgio Mammoliti will soon unveil a major plank in his platform: eliminating property taxes for seniors in Toronto:
“A campaign source said eliminating property taxes for Torontonians over the age of 65 will be the main plank of Mr. Mammoliti’s platform, to be unveiled at a glitzy dinner and dance tomorrow night.
The veteran councillor for Ward 7 York West will propose paying for the vow with massive layoffs and more private-public partnerships, according to the source.
“He’s looking at doing that at a rate that’s never been done before,” the source said, adding that Mr. Mammoliti will offer “rewards” to families who take in elderly parents.”
