Now is the time to act. Together, we can stop the tax hike.

The municipal bureaucracy has proposed a massive property tax hike, but the final decision rests with our elected officials. The window to affect change is open right now. By joining forces today, we can pressure the Mayor and Council to stop the madness at City Hall and protect our community’s future. 

Let them know you stand against unaffordable tax increases and disconnected spending. Tell them to stop saying "yes" to every "nice-to-have" project and start living within their means. Together, we can help put a stop to property tax increases and demand a "Fix-it-First" budget that prioritizes Haligonians over bureaucratic growth.
