Sioux Narrow/Nestor Falls Budget

Residents of Sioux Narrows/Nestor Falls can expect to pay a bit more in taxes
this year.

The town council recently passed its 2010 budget and is looking at an overall
increase of about one percent.

Mayor Bill Thompson says while they have been able to hold the line on municipal
spending, other costs are beyond their control.

Thompson says while the education portion on the tax bill has gone down,
assessments in his community are up about seven percent, so that has offset
any savings local property owners might have enjoyed.
