Deputy Fleming is a bit stunned about the following. In our constituency clinics, and generally through county council meetings, we would receive criticism about the fact that so much water tax is paid in a particular county and collected. Now a lot of motor tax, instead of fixing the many problems that are on our county roads and so on, is going into the mix, along with property tax.
