Municipal Budget set for today

Kenora residents should find later today much more they will have to pay in property taxes.

The 2010 municipal budget is going to be presented to council this afternoon at a special meeting starting at 3:00.

In addition to the municipal budget, new rates for sewer and water are also expected to be set.

While there should only be a modest increase in property taxes this year, sewer and water rates are scheduled to rise by about five percent this year.

The municipal budget is ready for passage almost three months earlier than normal.
