I'm so disgusted with COCT. I did some research to find out why the heck out rates are different each month. It makes it really hard to adjust the budget for the municipal bill. Then it's this amount, then it's that.
Perhaps y'all knew but I had NO idea that they bill us on rates and taxes DAILY. Not a fixed monthly bill, billed on 28, 30 or 32 days, but DAILY.
This allows them to (according to co pilot)
- change rates mid cycle
- apply backdated adjustments
- insert partial period changes
- recalculate rebates retroactively
Without
- re issuing clear monthly amounts
- explain visibility why a bill jumped
I am so exhausted of living in this city. I know other provinces have thier issues, gosh this whole country is going to the dogs. But when do we catch a break?
People love to scream "save save save" but how when they do things like this. And to top it off, it's not just them, it's every, single, sector trying to get a piece of one's salary.
Sigh.
