City Councillors Due for a long overdue raise

Members of Kenora City Council are amongst the worst paid in Ontario.

But that could soon change.

City administration has come out with a report recommending a 30 percent increase next year.

Councillor Rory McMillan says they haven't had a pay raise since the year 2000.

If council approves the pay raise, the mayors salary will increase to just under 30 thousand, while councillors will get almost 15 thousand dollars a year.
