Municipalities are being left to hold the bag when it comes to paying for infrastructure and other public goods in Alberta .... that's why property taxes keep going up faster and faster.
While it might be tempting to join the crowds and blame the NDP for current tax increases ... but the real cause of the current rise in property taxes is years and years of PC policy that basically ignored funding infrastructure needs for the sake of an ideology of not raising taxes in this province ... even as Alberta's population skyrocketed and the need for more infrastructure was obvious ... it is municipalities that are facing the crunch now.
