Taxes less than first thought

Thunder Bay taxpayers will be getting a bit of a break in their property taxes. Last week's budget figures were tweaked to include the education tax and administration is now recommending a 1.13 percent increase. Homeowners will pay an extra 28 dollars on their total tax bill. With council adding another 242 thousand dollars to the budget on Wednesday night the tax rate stands at 1.27 percent.
