Kenora City Council is still trying to bring down an potential tax increase inthis year's budget.
Council spent all day Friday going through its operating budget line-by-line
looking for cost savings.
At the beginning of the day, Councillors started with a potential 3.28 percent
increase in taxes this year, but by the end of the budget meeting they had
trimmed the increase down to 1.7 percent.
Kenora mayor Dave Canfield says they want to keep any increases to a minimum,
because for many people, they've already experienced a tax increase this year
with the new Munipal Property Assessments.
