Oxford County will collect 1.58 per cent more in taxes this year. The 2012 budget was passed last night, after councillors had lengthy discussions about a number of cuts and additions. Council is asking staff to cut $250,000 from a consulting and training budget of 7.5-million. Staff will report back on where they can find those savings. Added into the budget, is $137,000 to purchase a new ambulance. Warden Don McKay says while the budget has been passed, new pressures on the budget can crop up at anytime, affecting future taxation.
