I would vote for that, as we arent going to have any other influences in Healthcare we might as well have something nice to look at while we are waiting on trolleys

I think it might sway some of those swing voters.

That talks about making local government more powerful and accountable and also indicates three options each council would have other than property taxes to raise revenues. So no property tax.

Well IF you truly believe that Councils IF given the power will abstain from property taxation then vote FG, I however do not believe this.

He did not say that. He said they weren't automatically good resource allocations which is a very different statement.

He was referring, as I was, to the proposed infrastructural investment by FG, which is what this thread is about. But if you want to split hairs, fine.
