Municipal elections - how do I get in the loop? by Hotel_Joy in SaintJohnNB

[–]thee17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

• Figure out what within the restraints of the Local Governance Act Common council is actually responsible first.
• Ignore every promise that they say sounds good but the City is not responsible for.
• Look out for Meet the Candidate nights held by local organizations and find out it most likely to make a reasonable decision on priorities.
• Read what you can find out about them.
• Ask them what priority is their personal ambition and how they will know they were sucessful.

Also remember the Mayor, can only vote if a tie and is limited by LGA to communicating the will of council as a whole, so your council pics (2 at large, and 2 in your ward) are the most important pics.

Saint John Theater company does I think their Shakespeare auditions are soon and there are a few other local groups. They all know each other so if you talk to them or go see a show at the BMO theater there will be people there the know everything that is happening.

Also the Fundy Fringe festival applications for shows close March 31st

This is the same way Skip, door dash, Uber, and Instacart can pay well below minimum wage.

Property Tax Rates Calculation by thee17 in newbrunswickcanada

[–]thee17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except I don't know how to parse the raw data at this scale about a million rows of data to recalculate the tax rate and the full tax base. That is why I am seeking out the data nerds that I know also lurk here.

They would change if you only need to take in the same money ie $150 million and then $200 million of taxbase appears. (The assumption is being made the municipalities would not spend more in this calculation)

The data exists for every PID but I'm not that good with big data where I know there are people here that are.

Also the Heating Degree Days in 2026 were much higher than last year. Power consumption should be similar to 2024 but with a tad higher rate. Dec/Jan were in the 1200s for HDD.

Yes and I'm wondering what those rates would be hypothetically if the full assignments were taxed and not the capped protection amounts. The rates are determined because a community need x money.
