She says they are losing almost $349,000 from the Ontario Municipal Partnership fund which would mean an increase of 4.65% to the tax rate.
The Group health benefits premium is going up by over $52,000, which would equal a .7% tax hike.
Insurance costs are also on the rise by between $52,000 and $116,000 depending on the deductible .
