It barely went up for me on the island. I didn't do the actual math, but it was around 6%

Mine went up 23%. After I read in the paper that council had massaged everything to get it down to about 13%. Lying cocksuckers.

I don't remember how the calculation works.but my assessment went up alot and as a result I pass over the average 7.75% increase that was expected so now I am paying 22% more than I paid last year

My house assessment actually went down a little from the previous year which was a surprise. I'll take it, though.

Think I was a 9.5% increase


Coincidentally, I am at a gala with Ken Sim at the moment.
I should bring it up.

In a follow-up statement, the BCHP says the motorcyclist “ran into a car and the motorcyclist fell onto the roadway.”


“The motorcyclist was critically injured by the rear wheels of a semi-truck and tragically has passed away,” Corp. Melissa Jongema said.

Police are now looking to speak with the driver of the semi who “did not remain on scene and may not know what happened.”
