In 2010 taxpayers were said to be expecting a 6.1% tax increase. Aldermen however have been working hard and have brought the tax level down to 5%. Many people are highly excited about the drop and feel they have accomplished a lot while others however are feeling it could get even lower. Regardless, progress has been made and Calgary City Council officials are working hard to ensure that our taxes remain as low as possible. This tax battle continues though as more money is spent and more time is taken to discuss budgeting. Many revisions have to be made such as transit audits and expanded graffiti cleanup programs but our alderman’s are assuring us if they can keep it under 5% they have everything under control.
