THUNDER BAY – The Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce is calling on city council to cut the tax levy increase proposed by administration for 2023 in half.
“The responses received clearly indicated that businesses do not support the budget as it is proposed,” she told council. “Our members are looking for a maximum three per cent tax levy increase, as well as an increase to the tax-funded capital budget of $1.3 million.” “We understand our request will require significant operating spending cuts, and we encourage you to move forward with prudent service level reductions, should they be required,” she said.
Councillors have already raised the possibility of asking administration to prepare a menu of possible spending cuts, including reductions to service levels, in order to trim the tax hike.
