Surviving Government presents an understanding of Canadian local government for the individual citizen, and how each citizen can influence, modify, and survive the decisions, actions, and effects of government.

The work is in four volumes, each concentrating on one of four aspects of government: its powers, its functions, taxation, and political integrity.

Its purpose is to provide an overview of the impact of public service, and the difficulty, but not the impossibility, of progress in a political context, with illustrations, some technical and some biographical, of how meaningful progress can be achieved, and what value such progress has for citizens and their community.

The third book considers three groups of facets of municipal taxation.

  • the nature of tax and the methods of budgetary control as governed by provincial strictures; that is, what the municipality is permitted to tax, what revenues it is permitted to keep, and what revenues are funded by the province;
  • the property tax, which is the major source of municipal revenues, and lesser revenues based on property, such as development charges and user fees; and,
  • allowable modifications in the context of the same provincial strictures and the relative inelasticity of the property tax construct.

The appendix in volume three follows in real time from the appendix in volume two to relate the professional and personal actualities experienced in my role as a municipal chief administrative officer.

My observations relate the sociological interrelationship of the province of New Brunswick and the American state of Maine; local services in a small town; the detrimental impact of poor municipal development planning; interactions and impact of major local businesses; the Cabot Trail on Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island; how $45 millions of funding from senior governments came about; Council dynamics, and their predictability; upgrading emergency response; civic centre strategy and local land development; collective bargaining; and how Richard Wagner helped to keep the operas of the day in perspective.
