Talk of service cuts has entered the budget discussions for the town of Fort Frances.
Councillors say they're supportive of a tax increase, ranging between one to 3.5 per cent, in order to help slay the deficit, now at $768-thousand.
Councillor Paul Ryan says some new ideas might also have to be considered.
Councillor Rick Wiedenhoeft says he'd like to find more cuts elsewhere before focusing on services.
Mayor Roy Avis says while he's opposed it in the past, council might have to consider the need for bag tags on all garbage placed at the curb.
