Pay Hike Reviewed

A planned pay hike for members of Fort Frances council is going to get another look.

Mayor Roy Avis asked for the review in light of recent comments made by Premier Dalton McGuinty.

"The recommendation from the government is that our union employees have to take a hard look at maybe a two-year wage freeze at the end of their existing contracts," says Avis. "With that I'd like to see council recommend that it goes to the administration and finance committee for a review."

The increase in councillor salaries is schedule to take effect following this fall's municipal elections.
