Committee Membership

At least one member of City Council doesn't want non-residents to be able sit on Kenora's committees.

Dave McCann raise the issue this week and suggests that if someone isn't paying taxes in the City of Kenora, they shouldn't be allowed to dictate how city funds are spent.

McCann says if they don't own property then they shouldn't have the right to vote.

Mayor Len Compton agreed, but says people who rent apartments should be allowed to sit on committees, because they are residents of the city,but not necessarilty property owners.
