by Nelson Becker

I was down by the Nelson Post Office where Adrian Dix, NDP Provincial leader, and Michelle Mungall, MLA for Nelson and Creston, were encouraging people to vote yes on the referendum to eliminate the HST and revert back to the previous system of GST and PST.

“It will cost much less to annihilate the HST opposed to keeping it. Here in Nelson, small businesses thrive because people like to shop. We have a small business economy and rely on dispos-able income to support that. It, (the HST) is not going back

into health care and educa-tion; things that we anticipate our taxes are paying for. It’s going to give big corporations a break, yet again. We can afford this in our province any longer. We can’t afford to keep the HST.”

I asked Michelle Mungall how she would respond to questions of “wouldn’t the reversion back to the HST, PST cost a lot of money?” and “what would be the changes to our HST, PST system if it came back into place?”

“What will happen if the HST is voted down? We will go back to the GST, PST sys-tem with the exemptions that

existed prior to the HST. That would be zero percent tax on bicycles, bike repairs, hel-mets, food in restaurants and delis, groceries, home renova-tions, funerals, wedding plan-ning, acupuncture, alternation medicine, chiropractic servic-es. That means more money in our pockets and that big corporations are paying their share.”

The Kootenay Express UpdateBuilding Community Since 1988 554 Ward Street Nelson, BC V1L 1S9 (250) 354-3910Nelson Becker, Publisher

How did you get my email address?The emails that we use for the

Kootenay Express Update are emails of people who have done business with the Express Newspaper or are emails we have received by personal request to be on our list.

What is the purpose of the Kootenay Express Update?

The purpose of the Kootenay Express Update is to provide the service of a com-munity newspaper with such features as an events calendar, classifieds, opinions, diversions, for the greater community of Nelson and area.

How can my friends receive the Kootenay Express Update?

You can send your friends our email and they can respond with the word “subscribe”, or “newsletter” or “update”.

What is the privacy policy of The Express?

We will never share your email with anyone outside of The Express. We feel

you are part of our family.Is The Express open for Editorial

Submissions?Yes. We also want to support the non-

profits of our community and we wel-come their editorial submissions.

What happened to The Express Newspaper?

The Express Newspaper existed as a print version for 22 years, but it could no longer compete against the big cor-porations for advertising. We are com-mitted to being of community service and we are now in the process of cre-ating the Kootenay Express Update as an alternative to the print copy. There are obvious benefits to an electronic Express Newspaper. We don’t have any printing costs or post office distribution costs. There is less restriction on space. Recipients can print out the pages that they so desire. There are also some disad-vantages. Not everybody is internet con-nected. Reading off a screen is a different

experience than reading off of paper. The Express Update seems to me to

be a valuable way to publicize my busi-ness. How do I place advertising in the update?

We are still working on this because in setting a price for advertising we want to assure ourselves, and you, that you are getting the correct value for your dollars. We encourage you to get in touch with us so that we may begin this discussion with interested local businesses.

How does the Kootenay Express Update support itself?

At the moment, that’s a very good question. The Kootenay Express Update lives on a subsidy that it is receives from me, Nelson Becker. In the future, the Update will have to support itself. We are in the process of determining advertising value, as well as looking at other methods of raising the necessary funds.
