Here’s an innovative revenue tool: Regina should annex the RM of Sherwood and then get all the property taxes from the GTH, Brandt

Yeah, and the fact that many many previous councils just kicked the can down the road by the sounds of it

Easy!
- we spend more than half a million dollars per resident on the police
-Stadium
-Bailing out REAL
- Throwing money at Costco
- v low commercial to residential tax ratio (that only favours Harvard etc)

But this negates adding.0.17% to the mill rate right?
So for shitz and giggles, let's say that's the only decrease we get to the mill rate. So 15.52% rather than 15.69% - in real money, that's a "saving" of 63cents a month. But for that saving, I have to spend an extra $6 on bus fare?

So to summarize, we can't have nice things?

Er, what's this on? The fair increase?
