Wage Hike Ups Council Earnings


An increase in salaries helped push up the amount paid out to members of Fort Frances town council last year.

A total of $135-thousand was earned by Mayor Roy Avis and the six councillors through salaries, conference expenses and per diems.

That's about $10-thousand higher that 2010, mostly because of a salary bump approved at the beginning of the four-year term.
