New Deal Presentation - Submitted by the Winnipeg Real Estate Board
The Winnipeg Real Estate Board applauds Mayor Murray and the considerable effort by all involved to reexamine and question how we fund our city and to look at alternative revenue streams that can grow with the economy and lessen our reliance on property taxes. Excessive property taxes deter people and businesses from locating here and also hurt efforts to retain residents and businesses. Moreover, a high tax environment discourages investment and improvements in property.
