These sorts of statements form City Hall absolutely infuriate me:

During the meeting, chief financial officer Daren Anderson said following the recommendation would cost taxpayers an extra $0.57 per month over 30 years.

They use this tactic all the time and the media regurgitates it, never calling them on it.
These numbers do not take into account the federal and provincial contributions that are all paid by taxpayers and also ignores the commercial property tax that is ultimately paid by all of us.
The best way to calculate this cost is that it is about $1000 for every adult and child in Regina. This means that some households that pay a lot of taxes including on their commercial properties will be paying over $10,000. Report that!
