Huron-Kinloss is among the Bruce County municipalities losing a big chunk of its yearly Ontario Municipal Partnership Funding (OMPF)
Mayor Mitch Twolan says they will lose about 640 thousand dollars in 2010, after receiving over 1.2 million last year.
He says this budget year will be a great concern because of the drop in funding.
Twolan says it will be a major financial impact for the municipality, and as it stands right now, they would have to raise taxes by 17 per cent just to reach the same level of spending as last year.
Bruce County Municipalities recently lobbied the provincial government to reconsider the cuts in OMPF funding, but they were recently told there would be no changes.
