Taxes, Taxes, and more Cuts

Stephanie Watt

The final call on the tax estimates for 2010 are now being said to stay at 4.8%. It has been a struggle though, city transit services have been cut back, less paving is to be expected and 30 city workers are also being fired to keep 4.8% a reality. The city of Calgary’s officials are proud to have the budget remaining lower then the original 6.1% they anticipated but they know that there is a chance of add-ons. City Staff will be meeting with the Alderman next week to talk about additional cuts and do some final budget deliberating.
