Uploading Answers Sought


Fort Frances councillors will consider a political route in search of answers regarding the provincial uploading of municipal costs to the Rainy River District Social Services Administration Board.

The board approved a $15-million budget last week, but councillor Ken Perry says any savings the province suggests aren't been seen by the municipalities.

"We're going to pull some changes and rattle some cages," says Perry. "The answers we're getting from everyone concerned are not consistent. That's my problem. show me some consistency. If we're right, we're right and if we're wrong, we're wrong. We can put it to bed one way or another."

Council will look to writing the Premier and having a question posed in the legislature.
