John Meloche, a candidate for council in the elections in Pickering, launches a series about taxes in Pickering.
He writes:
[Where is Pickering heading financially — and are taxpayers getting the full picture? I’m launching a new series taking a closer look at the City of Pickering’s budget and financial forecast. Municipal budget and forecast is 193 pages pages long, but the decisions buried in those numbers affect your property taxes, city services, infrastructure, and what Pickering can afford in the years ahead.
In Part 1, “The $266 Million Question:” my goal is simple: analyze the numbers, explain them in plain language, ask the questions that need to be asked, and give residents the information they need to form their own opinions.
This is your money. You deserve to know where it’s going — and where the City is headed.
