Sioux Narrows/Nestor Falls Budget

The Town of Sioux Narrows/Nestor Falls has decided to put off approval of its 2010 budget.

The municipal council had planned to pass the budget earlier this month,but put the brakes on the process after the Kenora District Services Boardfailed to approve its annual budget.

The services board had been seeking a big increase in its budget from localmunicipalities, which would have a significant impact on Sioux Narrow's finances.

Sioux Narrows mayor, Bill Thompson says there's no point passing their budgetuntil they know exactly how much more they will have to contribute to theDistrict Services Board.
