Greater Sudbury’s 2026 budget, with a 3.9% tax hike and deferred repairs, faces criticism for shifting costs to future taxpayers.
Greater Sudbury’s 2026 budget, approved with a 3.9% property tax increase, has drawn criticism from resident Thomas Price, who argues it misrepresents fiscal responsibility.
While the overall budget remains unchanged, council shifted costs by deferring the College Street underpass repairs, cutting $1.1 million in arts and development grants, raising user fees, and using $1.85 million from reserves.
Price contends these moves transfer long-term debt and deferred maintenance to future taxpayers, undermining financial integrity and violating the Municipal Act.
He calls for provincial intervention, citing a pattern of prioritizing short-term optics over sustainable planning.
