Homeowners dodge 9.7 per cent tax bullet
Mississauga homeowners won`t be facing a near double digit property tax hike next year, after all.
Reluctant to put a 9.7 per cent increase before residents, City officials chopped $8 million from the $355.8-million draft operating budget at an all-day cost-cutting session on Wednesday (Sept. 17).
The almost 10 per cent hike was projected by finance staff back in June.
Staff had recommended cutting $12 million from the budget so councillors are three-quarters of the way there. Meanwhile, another $1.5 million of recommended spending cuts were deferred.
