We’ve seen one of the mayoral candidate promise a maximum of 2.5% tax increase. Do you believe that with the infrastructure, transit and other investments highlighted in your respective campaign that a 2.5% tax increase is realistic or are we simply setting ourselves up for a massive increase in the coming years?

Successive mayors have promised unrealistically low increases. This has contributed to the massive infrastructure deficit we face.
