How your municipal tax dollars are being spent

Editor:

A coloured circular graph provided on the city’s website is designed as a loonie so that one can clearly see that almost 50 per cent of operating dollars are spent on services.

The problem is, according to the dollar graph, for every one dollar, $1.02 is being spent.

I am surprised the mayor’s office released public information that suggests less than perfect accountability.

Graphics are a great visual aide but graphing requires some mathematical accuracy, as does budgeting.
