"Ottawa's business community is encouraging the City of Ottawa to rethink proposed changes to the City of Ottawa Act.
City Council will vote on 58 changes to the act on Wednesday, including giving the city more powers to increase taxes and fees across Ottawa.

Logan says businesses don't need City Hall looking for an additional "tax grab."
The Ontario Government needs to approve any taxation changes. "
