Ever heard of Detroit?
If unicity had never happened I'd be paying a hell of a lot less than I do now in property taxes! The city of Winnipeg pays a very high price for both the WPS and WFPS in relation to similar sized cities in Canada. The city of Winnipeg has almost as many police officers as Edmonton which has a much larger population. Civic payroll eats up about 56% of city revenue up from about 47% less than ten years ago which is completely unsustainable! In other words economically unless Bowman and the new council don't find ways to reduce payroll through a variety of means were fucked!
