The Mayor wants to open up the conversation about municipal finance to include ANY idea - which will, of course, include some unpalitable or unfavourable ideas.

There is currently a lot of work going on to explore different options - but one thing is clear - the Mayor believes the property tax as the primary source of revenue should not continue.

I'm glad to see that Redford is open to exploring reform for cities, including a city charter. LONG overdue. It's ridiculous that the same exact rules apply to both a city of 1.1 million and a hamlet of 40 people.
