While Torontonians learned this week they are facing a 10% increase in municipal taxes and service fees, Markham announced success in achieving a 0% increase, all without cutting any cicic services, My wallet can be proud to carry a Markham address. With a projection that York Region will require 2.5% more this year for its half of the residential tax bill, we are still facing a modest increase, but one the people who live 300 metres south of us will envy. I hope Toronto taxpayers and politicians take note of what is possible.
