The snowbirds and snowflakes can’t even get to the meetings physically, they need a clear way of being counted too in any votes - if that process means anything to anyone. Otherwise, it’s just someone steam roading their will and trying to make it look like a democratic process.

Revenue does have to cover expenditure, but the people asked, forced to pay the taxes don’t seem to have much say on what the expenditure is spent on. I think the higher the transparency probably the higher the understanding and cooperation.
