Rural tax hike worries Manitoba council leaders
Ellice council kept 1986 mill rate rise to about 25 mills by cutting road maintenance. RMs fear residents will face hardship from high taxes amid drought and farming costs. UMM and Manitoba urban councils study education costs with a $100 million department deficit cited. Officials warn provincial revenue from rural municipalities cannot be relied on and new options are needed.
