How much should you be paying in municipal taxes?

CALGARY (660 NEWS) – That will be the big question at City Hall Monday as council looks at ways to make up for a funding shortfall.

Three councillors last week said there should be no increase in residential property taxes.

Joe Magliocca, Sean Chu, and Jeromy Farkas all believe there are more cuts that could be made to city spending.

At least three scenarios will be brought forward including the three per cent increase already agreed to earlier this year.

The other options will be a 1.5 per cent increase and a zero per cent increase in 2020.

Ward 3 Councilor Jyoti Gondek is arguing there is too much of a burden on business in this city, noting the businesses shutting their doors because if increases in taxes.

She believes a shift away from the current structure.

“That needs to happen. The other thing we need to do, in my opinion, is really focus on what the services that we need to offer should be at this time. We can’t be everything to everyone.”
