The mayor of Fort Frances is worried about what will happen when the Atikokan coal fired plant closes down in 2007.
Dan Onichuk fears Atikokan will have a reduced assessment and other district communities such as Fort Frances will pay more for social services.
Onichuk says he doesn’t understand the provincial government.

Onichuk notes provincial officials have basically said the decision to close the plant will not be reconsidered.
The mayor adds the closure will have a massive impact not only on Atikokan but the whole district.
