Fort Frances Budget Finalized


Fort Frances town council has put the final touches to the 2011 budget.

It comes with a 2.55 per cent increase for most residential ratepayers.

Councillor Ken Perry says it's a budget he can accept.

"We worked hard on it," says Perry. "We've chiseled away at everything we could and we've questioned every aspect of life in Fort Frances to get it down to where it is without hurting services. I know we've cut a few, but there' probably still more to cut in years to come if the economy continues to go the way it's going."

Council will formally accept the budget at their meeting next Monday
