Tailor Taxes To Needs: MENARD

This is an excerpt from the ward newsletter from Capital Councillor Shawn Menard:

City council approved the mayor’s proposed budget directions, including an across-the-board 2.9% budget increase—rather than employing a strategic focus on council priorities and differentiation amongst the rates—and threats of a 75-per-cent fare increase for OC Transpo.

In my view, these proposals will be a detriment to city efforts to fix and maintain important infrastructure, provide services such as upgrades to parks and bathrooms for residents, or stem the ongoing decline of transit in Ottawa.

I voted against the budget directions. I want to see a healthy and functional transit system, and properly-maintained infrastructure and services.
