Since 2013 the Wingham BIA has blown approximately $200,000 of tax money with zero results, other than increasing taxes. Only in Wingham do they think the solution to high taxes is even higher taxes. We have record vacancies on Josephine St due to high taxes, so the solution was the BIA tax to promote those businesses loyal to Town Hall and town staff and force all the remaining businesses to foot the bill.
The Wingham BIA has sat idle and silent while scammers take some Josephine St. properties off the tax rolls, increasing the burden on the remaining commercial properties. Forcing us to pay their taxes for them. Imagine the nerve of and corruption required to force others to pay your taxes for you. Now imagine a business community that has given up due to the futility of battling the Old Boys Club, and you now know what Wingham is like. Abandon all hope ye who give a shit.
