After raising property taxes 9.5% last year , Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow’s proposed 2025 budget raises property taxes by a further 6.9% this year .

If approved by council, this would be an unjustified increase, says Matthew Lau .

Lau: By many important measures, the city's taxpayers paid more but got less.

Lau says there's plenty of fat for city hall to cut before it should even think about raising taxes.
