But municipal finances do not receive the same degree of public scrutiny as more senior governments. This can pose a problem for taxpayers and voters who want to understand how their municipal government performs, especially compared to other municipalities. To help create awareness and encourage debate, this report provides a summary analysis of important financial information for 17 of the 21 municipal- ities in Metro Vancouver, spanning a 10-year period (2002–2012). The intention is not to make an assessment of any municipality’s finances—for instance, whether taxes or spending are too high or whether municipal governments produce good value for taxpayers.
