Sioux Lookout approves 2012 Budget

Taxpayers in Sioux Lookout are going to see a small increase.

Council has approved the 2012 Municipal Budget and taxes are going up 2.25-percent.

Mayor Dennis Leney says the increase is within an acceptable range, bearing in mind that the national cost of living increased by 2.9-percent last year.

Leney says there will be no cuts in service levels.

Treasurer Henry Wall says its a tight budget, but notes that the Municipality is in very good shape.
