NOMA on Provinicial Budget

Municipalities in the region are still digesting the figures contained in last week's provincial budget.

Anne Krassilowski is president of the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association and says the budget has some pretty good news for the north.

She does have some concerns with the premier's comment that municipalities should follow the province's lead and freeze employees salaries.

Krassilowski adds that increased funding for Ontario Works and the new industrial hydro rate for the north are boththings that will help out the region.
