Council getting ready to set tax rate

Local residents will have to dig a little deeper to pay their property taxes this year, but how much deeper still isn't known.

Kenora City Council is reviewing its operating budget today.

Right now the city is proposing an increase of just 0.4 percent.

However, some councillors are worried that not enough money is being set aside for infrastructure projects.

Its possible the final figure could increase another one or two percent depending whether council feels like it can afford an increase in 2012.

Deliberations are continuing this afternoon.
