Council needs to make life in Lethbridge more affordable

So the city wants to increase property taxes over the next four years by 15 per cent. As it is, we have some of the highest property taxes in Alberta.

The only things new I have noticed are all the new city vehicles and the revitalization of the downtown core, which most people avoid due to the unpredictable environment. Not to mention the frustrating parking meters downtown and charging parking at the Enmax where College students are already on a fixed income. 

The City is currently pushing citizens to take Lethbridge Transit instead of driving, but the current transit system in Lethbridge is horrendous. Forty-minute wait times are not acceptable. Lethbridge city council needs some major reforms and an update on how hard it is for Albertans right now. Try fixing the current issues in Lethbridge first by making it affordable for citizens to live. The cost of living is already out of control. Don’t make it any harder for the people of Lethbridge!
