Local candidates react to Alberta’s 2015-16 budget with criticism and defense. The plan raises personal taxes on over 100000, adds a health levy, and funds new cuts while promising future surpluses. Alberta Party and Wildrose claim the steps deepen divisions and tax the middle class, while ND candidate Soklofske cites unfairness and higher costs.
