Surrey budget proposes 9.5% property tax increase for policing transition costs

To account for that, it says the budget proposes a 9.5 per cent general property tax increase.

The new Surrey city council voted in December to send a plan to Farnworth requesting to keep the RCMP, while the Surrey Police Service asked him to reject that plan, saying halting the transition would mean firing 375 employees, dissolving two police unions and accepting “unrecoverable” costs of $107 million.Article content

Send the bill to the old mayor.

Oh I thought it was 55%

So, does this mean SPS will be our police force?

For the record. - during election $550 million - after the election $220 million - January 2023 before the solicitor general was to announce the decision 55% tax hike - couple days ago 17.5% - today 9.5% - to keep a force that can't keep 1 of its contractual obligations across BC

Didn't MayorLocke get elected with Doug to get rid of the RCMP & then change her tune to become Mayor. Announces the tax hike on a long weekend when the next meeting isn't till next month. She's as bad as Dougie.

lmao EW

Laughing at all the people who wanted this because they thought the transition would be cheaper.

Locke is so far out of her league she showed up to a hockey game with a baseball glove. She seems to be dumping most of her propaganda on the lap of the NDP so I hope Farnworth calls her bluff and orders an audit. Good luck Surrey, you're going to need it.

This is Brenda Locke politicking to scare people away from the Surrey Police idea.

Purely political from a 1 issue mayor, 1 issue politicians are always the most dangerous

I heard it was 17.5%

So happy we moved out of Surrey. What a gong show

More taxes in BC? That can’t be true..😂

Where’s the “Poop for brains “ who came up with the original idea at now?
