Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew didn't make any commitments Friday on possible new municipal taxes in Winnipeg.
The mayor of Winnipeg is commenting further on a poll that will ask Winnipeggers ways they would like to see the city solve a funding crunch.
Kinew said he has a good relationship with Mayor Scott Gillingham and will listen to city hall. But he made no promises when asked whether he would approve new taxes being floated by the city as options to solve a revenue crunch.The city has commissioned a polling firm to ask people whether they would prefer to see Winnipeg get more money from the province, cut services, raise property taxes by more than 3.5 per cent or impose new municipal taxes.
“There is greater demand for city services across the city. We have not seen a corresponding revenue increase.” “Once we have that information, it’ll give us a better sense of how to guide our discussions with the province of Manitoba.”‘This is fraud’: Indigenous leaders sound off on federal procurement programAlberta tables bills affecting transgender youth, student pronouns, sex education
