A picture is worth 1000 words. What is a chart worth?
The chart below is from a report Council will receive on Thursday morning. It sets out what tax increases have been over a ten year period.
If averaged over 20 years they could have gotten the number even lower.
Council will begin work on a draft budget that proposes a tax increase of 4.99% for the 2020-2021 Operations budget.
There will be a Virtual Town Hall this evening at which participants can ask questions. Unfortunately the public has, at this point very little in the way of information on which to base their questions.
The meeting this evening is putting the car before the horse.
well you can just see that council don’t have any regards to the older Burlington residents
trying to scrap by every month on there pensions trying to put food on the table staying out of old age homes and you want 4.99 increase i would believe maybe a 2 or 2/12 at the most is there a wage increase for Burlington council
