Wingham Golf Club denied tax break by M -T Council By Denny Scott The Citizen The Wingham Golf and Curling Club will not receive a break on taxation as it had requested from Morris-Turnberry Council. The club has requested funding from Morris-Turnberry and North Huron Councils in the past and, by way of a letter that explains the club is "encountering deep financial troubles and ... may need to be sold," has requested to have taxes cut by 50 per cent for a minimum of one year. The letter cites taxes, among hydro, insurance and labour as contributing to the financial problems. Councillor Dorothy Kelly saw this as a potentially dangerous situation for Morris-Turnberry Council to put itself in. "If we do this, what do we do with other people who make similar requests?" she asked of council members. Councillor John Smuck agreed, and said that council had given the group $5,000 for expenses several years ago, a decision he felt bordered on an inappropriate use of taxpayer money. "We can't cut their taxes," he said. "Their taxes went down due to assessment a few years ago." Smuck said he would support the club by having municipal functions like the annual Christmas party at the club to help generate revenue. Councillor Jim Nelemans agreed that council shouldn't cut the taxes, but he wanted to make sure the club recognized the decision wasn't against them, but a decision not to set a precedent for cutting taxes. Council agreed to send a letter to the club explaining the situation and council's decision.
