Poll: tax increase

Kelowna's mayor thinks citizens will accept a provisional budget with a tax increase pegged at 4.12 per cent.

City council approved the spending of more than $120.5 million in tax dollars during Thursday's budget deliberations.

Colin Basran said in his four-plus years on council he has never heard anyone tell him they want services cut.
