Alberta tax plan raises bills with fees and health levy
Medicine Hat residents face higher charges as Alberta shifts revenue with a health levy for those earning 50 000 or more and new fees. Tax brackets rise for top earners but many low income workers rely on credits and rebates. Ensminger Beck and Thompson say the main impact hits everyday expenses rather than salaries. Local tax program coordinator Tom Fry notes many on fixed incomes depend on benefits and GST rebates.

Alberta election fever stirs Wildrose leadership drama
Alberta politics see big moves as Wildrose gains a new leader while Danielle Smith loses nomination under the PC banner. Several Wildrose floor-crossers fail to secure PC noms and one candidate is acclaimed amid wonky rules. A Cypress Medicine Hat reeve pair secures PC bids as legal action looms over an election date. The writ likely drops the week of April 6 amid 2011 reforms.
