RR to see decrease, LoW to see increase in DSSAB levies

Savings from the uploading of the Ontario Drug Benefit Program only will be partially returned to municipalities after the Rainy River District Social Services Administration Board approved its 2011-12 budget last night.
This year, DSSAB saw its budget fall from $20,479,372 to $15,463,816—a reduction of $5,015,556, or 24.49 percent.
The majority of this reduction comes from the shifting of the Ontario Drug Benefit program to the province, with the remaining amount coming from cuts to general operating costs.
