Kingston, Ont., city council opens 2023 budget talks
The first of three days of budget talks for the City of Kingston began Monday night, with eight new faces on council.“They’re fresh eyes. I think political turnover and fresh faces are new in any political body. I’m excited that we have eight fresh faces to look at these new problems and come up with new solutions,” said Tozzo, councillor for Kingscourt-Rideau district.
The issue that was top of mind for many is the proposed 3 per cent municipal tax increase, which would include 0.7 per cent to account for the end of the social services relief funding from the province.
