Author: Robin Ayoub December 14, 2025 Duration: 31:35
In this episode of Localization Fireside Chat, Robin Ayoub is joined by Councillor Dipika Damerla from the City of Mississauga, Ward 7, for a clear and candid discussion on the 2026 Region of Peel budget and its impact on residents. With property taxes set to rise by 3.6 percent, many taxpayers are asking where their money is going and what is driving the increase. Councillor Damerla explains how Mississauga operates under two municipal governments, the City of Mississauga and the Region of Peel, and why this structure often creates confusion for residents who receive a single tax bill. The conversation breaks down the key drivers of increased spending, including rising policing costs, wage growth, and services delivered on behalf of provincial and federal governments. It also explores important questions around transparency, accountability, and whether current spending levels are delivering the outcomes residents expect. This episode is essential listening for anyone living or doing business in Mississauga or the Region of Peel who wants a better understanding of local government finances and public accountability. 🎥 Watch the full video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rvn1CkHc85Y
