Once again, Watson keeps his promise of capping the property tax hike to 2%, thanks to a $10 million surplus appearing out of thin air moments before the council meeting.

What the City's not advertising is that everything else is going up by a much higher rate;

4% Water rates;
5% Sewer surcharge;
5% Stromwater fee;
2.5% Regular transit fares;
5.6% Ice-time fees
