The objectors assert that the financial case is flawed in its calculation both of the construction costs and of the operating costs of the tram, and that they—as Edinburgh council tax payers—will have to pay increased council taxes to ensure that the costs of constructing and operating the tram are met.Do members have comments as to whether the argument that council tax will rise as a result of funding shortfalls for the trams is based on a reasonable claim and that the objectors' interests would thereby be adversely affected?
