They've already kowtowed to the all-property-tax-increases-must-be-below-inflation but GRT-increases-must-all-be-multiples-of-inflation, so...

When did that happen? Regional tax increases have been 3% for last couple years, while inflation was 1–2%.

Oops I slipped on my keyboard

   
(note: the alignment for the "year" of these may be off by 1, I haven't thought hard about whether they should round up or down a year)

So yes, property tax increases have been above inflation, but still much lower than the GRT monthly pass' increases.
