The above is a video clip of my address to city council on May 12, 2014 just before they adopted the 2014 – 2018 Financial Plan which will see taxes go up a total of 16.8%.

If council had elected to use the $4million surplus from last year, our taxes would not have to go up for two more years. Yet, the ‘Tax and Spend Brigade’ chose to increase taxes anyway.

Councillors Bestwick, Kipp and McKay opposed the budget, the balance of Council (the tax and spend brigade) chose to pass it.
