The mayor of Rossland says she’s thrilled with the public response to their financial plans outreach.
Kathy Moore says 307 people responded to a recent online survey. Normally they get less than a handful of people to public meeting on budget planning.
The survey asked residents to ponder two hypothetical tax increases of 2% and 5%.
She says an initial highlight from the survey is the vast majority of residents see tax increases as manageable and necessary.
