๐Ÿ‘‰The City of Thunder Bay has presented its proposed 2024 budget, featuring a 5.5% increase in the municipal tax levy. City Manager Norm Gale highlighted that while the initial proposal suggested a 6.6% increase, council directives led to maintaining it at 5.5% or below. Gale assured no cuts to programs and services, emphasizing investments in infrastructure. The tax levy, crucial for funding city services and capital projects, aims at $538 million, with 43% sourced from the levy. Notably, the increase supports community partners, including the Thunder Bay Police Service, comprising 30% of the proposed hike.โœ… . ๐‘๐ž๐š๐ฅ ๐„๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐‹๐š๐ฐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐‹๐š๐ฐ ๐‚๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐‹๐š๐ฐ Simmi Chacko ๐’๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข ๐‚๐ก๐š๐œ๐ค๐จ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐œ๐ข๐ฉ๐š๐ฅ ๐‹๐š๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ž๐ซ, ๐‚๐ก๐š๐œ๐ค๐จ ๐‹๐š๐ฐ ๐Ÿ“ฒ+๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”-๐Ÿ“๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ—-๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ“๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ– ๐Ÿ“ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข@๐œ๐ก๐š๐œ๐ค๐จ๐ฅ๐š๐ฐ.๐œ๐š @chackolaw.ca . . #ThunderBayBudget #MunicipalFinance #TaxLevy2024 #CityCouncilDecisions #InfrastructureInvestment #CommunityPartnership #FiscalResponsibility #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
