I am tired of Bronco raising our taxes every freaking year. How much am I willing to see property taxes increase??? How about 0%!!

I don't work for an Oil company and I don't make the big salary so basically whatever I earned goes to my mortgage, food, other necessity and property tax. If Bronco have to raise my property tax by another $200+, then that will take away $200 off my food and stuff.

Yes, I understand he wants to put more police in the city, more improvement on the road and so on, but come on... isn't it time to cut their budget and get rid of some of those useless city administrators who is making so much more money than 3 regular citizen combined. I am also sure he wants to have a road traffic improvement but he is doing it the wrong way. For example, there is a sign up on 14th Street South about meeting at Haysboro Elementary School on Tuesday, November 4th regarding the widening of 14th Street. Widening 14th Street will not help the traffic on 14th and Glenmore until we have the ring road on 37th Street SW. The people from the South (Evergreen, Somerset, Millrise, Shawnessy, Bridlewood and others) need to have another access to downtown other than 14th Street. The reason for 14th Street traffic every single morning was because of the traffic lights and way too many cars(mostly from South) going there and the traffic light on 37th Street at Glenmore Trail (westbound). If they have the ring road on 37th Street, you will see less cars on 14th Street and free flow traffic on Glenmore Trail westbound.
Of course if Bronco's gang approved the widening of 14th Street, that means they will have to purchase some of the properties in Haysboro and other community. That means that's another waste of taxpayer's money. I say before he commits to something else in regards to road constructions, do something about the 37th Street Ring Road first. Oh yeah, Bronco if you are reading this..... not everything is being resolved in bullying. You cannot bully the province in giving you more money, you can't bully the Indian chiefs to get what you want. And please stop blaiming province or someone else for your administration's incompetence.
