Mayor fears province will increase property tax take
Mayor Dave Bronconnier used a report examining funding options for municipalities to once again pitch that the province should stop collecting the education portion of property taxes.
"We fully expect, with some of the rumblings coming out of Edmonton, that they are once again going to take advantage of picking up more money from Calgarians on their property tax,"Bronconnier said Thursday, adding he believes there could be a five per cent increase on the $542 million collected in 2008.
