SooToday.com reports, “With city staff signaling that they’re looking at user fees as a principal tool to balance unfairly high tax ratios on industrial and commercial properties, Ward 1 councillors Paul Christian and Steve Butland are talking about establishing toll collection stations for large commercial vehicles at all entry points to the city.
