Property taxes could rise by 4%
Facing the added uncertainty of global economic turmoil on the eve of the annual budget-making process, Toronto Mayor David Miller yesterday said the city may be forced to hike property taxes by up to 4% next year in order to balance the books.
The Mayor outlined his priorities for 2009 in a letter to the executive committee, promising to hold operating costs steady at this year`s levels and avoid service cost increases. But he also vowed to press ahead enacting his priorities through belt-tightening and fat-trimming.
