Very simply, if Question 1 fails to pass, if 100 per cent valuation goes into effect, there would be a mammoth shift of the property tax burden from business to homeowners, on the order of $265 million.

After a few years on the job, many leave the service to earn a living in totally different fields in order to escape the tension and responsibility. Belisle, at least, still works for the protective service. But he does not go out on cases. He sits at the phone in the screening room. Phone work, screening incoming reports on child abuse, is at least one remove from the desperate daily reality confronted...
