Scott Moe Raised Taxes And Fees 31 Times In A Single Year
REGINA – Regina Mount Royal Candidate Trent Wortherspoon called out Sask Party Leader Scott Moe’s for raising taxes and fees a whopping 31 times in a single year. He also warned Moe won’t deliver on his desperate election campaign promise.
“People in every corner of the province are struggling to pay for the everyday essentials, and instead of making like affordable,"Wotherspoon said. “The Sask. Party digs deeper into family budgets, raising taxes, to fund things like extravagant trips to Dubai or their $8,000 private flights.
"Instead of listening to the people of Saskatchewan, Scott Moe increased PST, brought in sales taxes on insurance premiums, kids clothes, groceries, going out to dinner, and even buying the used car people need to get to work.”
Moe has faced criticism for not lowering taxes in the past, despite a provincial surplus and making previous promises to do so.
“Scott Moe only seems to promise affordability and tax cuts when he needs your vote. But the people of Saskatchewan know better,” said Wotherspoon.
“Carla Beck and my colleagues at the Saskatchewan NDP will not raise taxes, we’ll cut them,” said Wotherspoon. “We’re listening to the people of Saskatchewan who are telling us life has become too expensive. We’re committed to getting Saskatchewan out of last place and cutting taxes on groceries, gas and kids’ clothing.
Our plan will save you more money than Scott Moe’s plan right away — it's time for a change.”
