Towns take up police costing with Gov't

Kenora City Council is endorsing a resolution drafted by Fort Frances about the cost of policing.  The resolution says the cost of policing has increased dramatically over the past decade, exceeding the cost of living.  They want the Provincial Government to cover all the increased costs of the recently negotiated OPP contract.  That includes a 5-percent increase for this year.
