Uploading Clarification Sought


There continues to be questions about the savings the town of Fort Frances should be realizing from the provincial uploading of the costs for social services programs.

Councillor Ken Perry says the town should be getting back $897-thousand but is being told otherwise.

"I'm being stonewalled and being told that we're only getting $440-thousand," says Perry. "The $440-thousand is extra this year, more than we got last year. The problem is when the Province starting uploading this funding to the DSSAB (Rainy River District Social Services Administration Board) we didn't get a benefit out of it."

Perry is seeking a clarification from the Province.
