Guelphissauga News: Attendance Games FAIL, Mayor Booting Homeless, Pergola Commons Towers | Nov 2023

The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the Mayor backing off from booting the Homeless out of Town. The Housing Cost Crisis expanded across the Shire thanks to the $227 budget shortfall left by the Big Blue Orc's broken promise. Last week, the Council of Elders played the Townhall Attendance games to find ways to cut the proposed 10% tax increase to a more acceptable 9.9%. Meanwhile, the Mayor took another vacay-conference in the Swamps of Toronto at the 2023 Housing Forum with his YIMBY friends. They want to build four new Tower of Saurons in the heart of Guelphissauga to rent out to the homeless people downtown. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and will the proposed tax increase make it worse?
