Now, now, let's not be alarmist: the same article did suggest that the tax hike might only be 5.5%. This works out to between $121 and $132 per average household. I don't know what the average household taxable value is for the Region.
(For information: The 2022 budget increase was 4.56% or $96/average household (1.26% for the police and 3.30% for everything else))
