Episode Details

Last council meeting in July council started some pretty beefy discussions about tax reform. During that debate in early July, mayor Andy Fillmore suggested Halifax could learn lessons from how Hamilton and Winnipeg do their budgets. Since council isn’t meeting this week, it gave city hall reporter Matt Stickland time to go read other cities’ budget documents and bring you a budgetary book report about what Halifax can learn about sustainable budgeting from Winnipeg and Hamilton.
