**UPDATE: Please note that thanks to the March 27th funding announcement from CityWest, the proposed tax increase has been reduced from 15.7% to 12.5% after accounting for new revenues and cost cutting. Our Budget Simulation Tool has been updated to account for this change, but the Budget Document still retains the original draft increase.
