TBCC Unsatisfied With City Budget

The Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce isn't giving the city's budget full support.  President Charla Robinson commends council and the work its done in reviewing the  fiscal document line by line, but says it still falls short.  Robinson says even though the tax increase is below 2 per cent,  the chamber is disappointed not enough was done to control costs and that the operating budget continues to rise.  She believes councillors missed a number of opportunities to make cuts.
