CHAMBER
MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CITY OF WINDSOR’S 2009 BUDGET
|
|
|
|
On
May 6, 2009, the Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of
Commerce made a presentation to City Council on the City of
Windsor’s 2009 Budget. Robert Rea, Chair of the Chamber’s
Finance & Taxation Committee, expressed support
for the Budget on behalf of the Chamber.
The
Chamber recommended continuation of the successful
debt reduction and pay as you go policies. The goal
for the City should be to reduce the overall budget
where possible, provide fair distribution of the tax
levy among the various business classes and to balance
the tax impacts between residential and business
taxpayers.
The
Chamber emphasized the importance of better
realignment of City resources with its key priorities
with more focus on completing the most important
economic initiatives needed to attract new businesses
to the region.
