Brad Bradford is pledging to freeze Toronto’s property tax rate for one year if elected mayor.

The mayoral candidate says an independent group would conduct an item-by-item review of city spending.

Bradford says the review would look for waste, duplication and outdated programs while protecting frontline services.

His campaign says the freeze could be funded through recurring gaps between the city’s budgeted and actual property-tax-supported spending.

Toronto had one of the lowest major urban tax rates on the continent. Chow nudged them up to a level still way below average. My parents out in the country pay 2x the property tax rate.

But funny enough Chow is not likely to raise again this term so she could throw water on Brad Bradford and say the same.

Ford nudged them up more accurately.
