Tel que nous l’avions annoncé dans un numéro précédent, une hausse de 1,5 % viendra s’ajouter à l’impôt foncier des rési- dents. La valeur d’une maison moyenne étant évaluée à 316 000 $, on peut dire que l’augmentation pour les contribuables se chiffrera à environ 44 $.
Quant aux frais du service d’eau et d’égout, pour les consommateurs, il y aura une baisse annuelle de 45 $. En effet, les frais fixes d’eau diminueront de 411 $ à 350 $

C’est confirmé. Le budget 2017 a été adopté lundi par le conseil municipal de Russell lors de la dernière séance ordinaire du canton de Russell. Derek Duval steps into PC political ring Derek Duval figures it is time he got off the sidelines and took a more active role in politics. That is one of several reasons he gives for his decision to seek the Progres- sive Conservative candidate nomination in the Glengarry-Prescott-Russell provincial riding. “I’ve always been taught that if you want something done right, you do it yourself,” Duval said during a Sunday phone interview. “And if you want something, you go after it. You don’t sit on the sidelines and wait for someone to hand it to you.” The Vankleek Hill businessman added that dissatisfaction with some of the recent and past policy decisions from the Wynne Liberal government also prompted him to seek nomination as the GPR’s Progressive Conservative candidate when the next pro- vincial election rolls around. Duval’s background includes a bachelor’s degree in business law from Carleton Uni- versity, along with experience as a small business owner running his own company in the construction trade sector. At present he is project manager for Montebello Pack- aging, based in Hawkesbury. He also cited his student summer work on local farms and at the Ivaco Rolling Mill as part of his experience related to being familiar with the working lifestyle of the average resident in Glengarry-Prescott-Russell. “I have the real experience working these kinds of jobs,” he said, adding that he is also active in community affairs through his in- volvement with the Hawkesbury Rotary Club and as a director for the Reality Tour drug awareness and prevention programprovided GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca

Derek Duval de Vankleek Hill tentera d’obtenir l’investiture du Parti progressiste- conservateur dans Glengarry-Prescott- Russell en vue des prochaines élections provinciales. Une autre candidate, la conseillèremunicipale de laMunicipalité de Russell, Amanda Simard, sollicite le même poste. —photo fournie through partnerships between local school districts and the community. Duval noted that one of the top issues he gets feedback on during his nomination campaign walks-and-talks around the rid- ing is Ontario Hydro. Everyone he talks to, whether a homeowner or a business person, lists the cost of hydro as a worry. Duval thinks that Toronto has a “seat heavy” presence in the legislature so that Ontario’s rural issues do not get as much attention as they should. He cited that, along with government mismanagement of Hydro and bureaucracy, as part of the reason for slow economic growth and lack of jobs in the riding, which forces young people and families to move away. This also results in fewer students available for local schools, which forces school districts to consider school closures to cut back on their opera- tion expenses. Right now there are two candidates—Du- val and Amanda Simard—for nomination as the Progressive Conservative choice for the GPR in the next provincial election.
