Atikokan Budget Talks Continue

Atikokan town council is still dealing with its 2013 budget.

Mayor Dennis Brown says council must still find another million dollars in savings.

Brown says unlike other communities facing huge reductions in assessment, Atikokan's budget difficulties are attributed to long list of projects awaiting to be done.

He says if there's going to be any tax increase this year, he's hoping it will be 3 per cent or less.
