City backs revenue sharing policy says Grimm
Medicine Hat Mayor Ted Grimm supports a systematic revenue sharing formula to reduce reliance on conditional grants. He notes the province should retain flexibility for extraordinary projects while warning that some grants create political pressure and inconsistency. He favors non regressive revenues from income and resource taxes to stabilize funding and curb tax hikes. Alderman George Davison adds that Alberta municipalities need more provincial funds to maintain quality of life as costs rise.
