PLT deadline extended

A victory for property owners who pay the provincial land tax.

Kenora-Rainy River MPP Howard Hampton sent an open letter to Premier McGuinty demanding he extend the deadline to pay 2010 property tax bills.

Hampton says his constituency offices have been overwhelmed by calls from people who have been told they have just day's to pay or face penalties.

The province has agreed to extend the deadlines, the first payment to January 31st, and the
second at the end of February.
