Keith Gerein: As Edmonton's finances keep constricting, Sohi finds a bit of budget breathing room

Summary

69% Informative

Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi proposed amendments to shave a couple percentage points off next year ’s tax hike.

The mayor took a sip of water as he started to read a lengthy omnibus motion into the record, but wound up in a coughing fit that forced him to start the whole thing over.

The amendments are expected to save $ 65-$70 next year for the average homeowner from the original proposal, though a 6.1% tax hike is still the sixth highest since the 2000s began.

City finances will continue to be a crucial storyline heading toward next fall ’s election.

I’ll have more to say about the budget debate in a subsequent column.

On that front, there is something to like about the mayor's work here, but only time — and voters — will tell if it offers sufficient breathing room or more hiccups for his political plans.
