On-Line Town Hall


A town hall meeting on the harmonized sales tax will be held in cyberspace today.

Kenora-Rainy River Howard Hampton and Thunder Bay Rainy River MP John Rafferty are hosting the event and will be taking viewers questions about the new combined tax.

"We are going to do an on-line web presentation that people can tune in to," says Hampton. "I simply want people to understand how big of a tax increase and how wide of a tax increase this is."

The webcast is at http://www.johnrafferty.ndp.ca/ or http://www.nwlive.ca/ beginning at 4 p.m.
